Tilapia fillets are rubbed with a hot spice mix, sprinkled with orange zest, and baked. I serve these with chili garlic sauce as a dip.

If you make this as instructed be prepared for an inferno in your mouth. I think the flavours are too complex for such a mild fish. Read More

This recipe was way WAY too spicy for us and we're native Texans who like things hot and spicy. When we started eating and realized how hot this recipe was we had to cook something else for our 4-year-old daughter so that she didn't burn her mouth. Read More

This was just not good. The chili and cayenne were totally overwhelming and there was definitely something missing. Squeezing orange juice over the cooked fish made it edible but far far far from good. Don't make this. Read More

This is the first time I tried tilapia. Had it with ranch flavored mashed cauliflower and a green salad. It was great. Will use this one again Read More

Sorry but this didn't work at all for me. I couldn't bring myself to use 1T. cayenne pepper--only used 1tea. & still wasn't happy with the taste results. Maybe I did something wrong---but otherwise it was really easy to put together for a quick meal. Read More

I used this recipe for fish tacos. It was good maybe a little greasy. I used 24 ounces of fish instead of the 16 called for. I also cut back on the cayenne by half. All and all its a good recipe. Read More
