Spicy Spiced Tilapia
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. I've cooked tilapia in a pan before, but back then I used butter and lemon, and I've also baked it in the oven several times. However, I've never had such a spicy dish made from tilapia before. At first glance, the fish might appear overcooked, but that's just the spices. The fish fillet itself is very tender and juicy. The dish is ready to be served.
