CHILI-RUBBED TILAPIA WITH ASPARAGUS & LEMON



Chili-Rubbed Tilapia with Asparagus & Lemon image

Tilapia, a relatively plentiful fish, has the unfortunate reputation of being dull. All it needs is a spice rub, a familiar barbecuing technique that works just as well indoors. You could also use this rub on chicken breasts or toss it with lightly oiled shrimp before cooking.
