Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1 large Mango
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with a small amount of olive oil.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the tilapia fillets to coat them.
Peel and dice the mango into small cubes and place in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl with the mango. Stir in the remaining olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside for topping.
Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the tilapia from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Spoon the cumin mango and cilantro mixture over the top of each fillet before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of side, such as couscous, rice, or a fresh green salad.
