chili-lime-baked-tilapia-with-avocado-crema

It's easy to overthink the preparation of fish. But this recipe breaks down exactly how easy it is to cook (baked in the oven!), and even easier to serve (with a generous dollop of avocado crema).

Ingredient

TILAPIA

1 lb tilapia fillet(455 g)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lime juice, about 1 lime
1 tablespoon olive oil

CREMA

1 avocado
½ cup fresh cilantro(20 g), roughly chopped
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lime juice, about 1 lime
¼ cup yogurt(60 g)

Direction

Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper, and olive oil with the lime juice.
Using a basting brush, generously coat each side of the tilapia fillet with the marinade.
Bake fish for 12 minutes in a preheated oven until edges begin to crisp and fish is moist and flaky.
While fish is baking, prepare the crema.
In a blender, combine avocado, cilantro, salt, pepper, lime juice, and yogurt. Blend until mixture is smooth.
Serve tilapia topped with avocado crema and freshly chopped cilantro.
