I created this recipe from scratch like many others, however, this is one of my favorites because Tilapia is a very bland fish, and I loved the fact that I could make it so much more flavorful. It is always very exciting to achieve that goal. The secret is to take something simple and turn it into something special!
Fabulous Tilapia
2 Pounds Tilapia fillets (or other white fish)
1 Shallot, chopped
4 Fresh colored chili peppers
2 Tablespoons garlic, chopped
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Teaspoons White Jasmine Sajji Masala
1 Teaspoon Whole Cumin
1 4inch cinnamon stick
1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
Heat the oven to 400. Add the tilapia fillets to a baking dish. Season with salt set aside. Heat up a pan, add olive oil. Add cumin and cinnamon when the oil is warm. Add the shallots and chili peppers. Stir everything for a minute or so. Add garlic and Sajji masala. Sauté everything for a couple of minutes. Add the mixture to the Tilapia in the baking dish and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Serve with a salad or couscous.
