Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tilapia fillets (about 1 lb)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Bake for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh tilapia fillets, ripe avocados, and flavorful cherry tomatoes.
  • Don't overcook the tilapia: Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Make sure the rice is cooked properly: The rice should be cooked according to the package directions. If it's too mushy or too hard, it will ruin the dish.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors together. Make sure it's flavorful and well-balanced.
  • Serve the bowl immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the rice is still hot and the tilapia is flaky.
