Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 3 (6 oz) tilapia fillets
  • 1 lime, sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Use paper towels to pat the tilapia fillets completely dry to ensure a seared crust.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, allspice, garlic powder, ginger, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper until a thick paste forms.
  4. Use a pastry brush or spoon to coat the top of each tilapia fillet generously with the spice paste.
  5. Place the fillets on the baking sheet and top each fillet with a lime slice.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
