Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like tilapia, cod, or salmon work best for this recipe. They can withstand the baking process without falling apart.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the fish its flavor, so don't skimp on the ingredients. Use a combination of olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and lime juice for a classic Mexican flavor.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Fish cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it in the oven. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Mexican baked fish is delicious served with rice, beans, salad, or tortillas.

Conclusion:

Mexican baked fish is a quick, easy, and flavorful dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. With its zesty marinade and tender, flaky fish, this recipe is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a simple but delicious seafood dish, give Mexican baked fish a try!
