SPICY BAKED TILAPIA AND TOMATOES



Spicy Baked Tilapia and Tomatoes image

This is a recipe that my wife created and I simply LOVE! This has become one of our two top favorite fish recipes ever. It is a little spicy, and that can be adjusted as desired. But this one is never fishy, and is a nice blend of seafood and Mexican-style food. We always make this with frozen or fresh tilapia, but you could substitute any light, thin white fish fillet.

BAKED TILAPIA WITH LOTS OF SPICE



Baked Tilapia With Lots of Spice image

This is a fabulous recipe for oven fried tilapia slightly adapted from Paul Prudhomme's wonderful "Fork In The Road" lower fat cookbook. I served this for dinner with family and it got rave reviews. Even my picky 5 year old eater enjoyed it. The ingredient list here is long, but is mostly spices. Please don't be put off, this is wonderful stuff and once you get the spice mixture combined, quite easy to make.
