Oven Baked Blackened Tilapia

Blackened Tilapia is a wonderful dinner, or you can use it for some great fish tacos. While it is bursting with spicy goodness, it is adjustable to your heat tolerance. An easy and quick recipe that is much healthier than frying.

The seasoning would go well with other fish or chicken.

My tilapia was frozen and ended up being very large fillets. I cooked them for 10 minutes, and they were just right. Thinner fillets probably need a minute or two less.

I was oven baking but did not want dry, so I use some oil on the tray and even sprayed the top with some oil in the form of PAM.

I find frying fish in a pan a “pain.” You have to do multiple batches, keep it warm in the oven and stand there all the time. And the mess, oh the mess, oven baking is just so much easier.
