Today I propose you a simple menu of Tilapia with chili and lime with avocado cream with few ingredients, but for a better and very tasty result, as it is usually tasted in some regions of Africa
Ingredients
for 2 servings
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)
Preparation
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 the mixture is smooth.
Serve tilapia topped with avocado crema and freshly chopped cilantro.
Enjoy!
