Skillet Chili-Lime Tilapia
Skillet chili-lime tilapia is an easy, healthy, flavorful way to enjoy fish.
Ingredients
- ⅛ tsp each of paprika, parsley, oregano, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tilapia fillets
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 tsp butter melted
- 2 tsp lime juice
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine all of the spices, including the salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Rub the fillets with the spice mixture. You will use the entire rub to coat them very well. This can be done 30 minutes prior or, preferably, 4-8 hours prior.
- Refrigerate the tilapia until ready to bake.
- When dinnertime rolls around; add olive oil, butter, and lime juice to a large skillet. As the butter melts, swirl the skillet so the oil, butter, and lime juice is evenly mixed.
- Add the tilapia fillets to the skillet and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
- Serve immediately.
