Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (tilapia, cod, or any white fish)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the fish fillets in the baking dish. Brush both sides of the fillets generously with the marinade.
Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced red onion around the fish fillets in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for a burst of fresh flavor.
Serve hot with optional avocado slices and lime wedges on the side for extra zest and creaminess. Enjoy!
