Tilapia Broiled Egyptian Style Recipe
- 2.5 pounds tilapia fillets (or whole tilapia cleaned)
- 3.5 cups hot water
- 2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 2 tbsp cumin
- 1/2 cup lime juice (or lemon juice)
- 1-2 tsp fresh ground pepper
- Broil the tilapia fillets on high broil for 3 minutes per side (7 minutes per side for whole tilapia)
- While tilapia is broiling put water in a large bowl (sufficient to hold the tilapia) and add salt, cumin, lime juice and pepper.
- Taste and add additional spices to taste.
- Take hot tilapia from oven and immediately put it into the bowl.
- It should be fully submerged under the liquid.
- If not, find a different shaped dish or add additional water and spices to compensate.
- Let sit for 10-15 minutes and serve with white or brown rice.
- Make sure to scoop plenty of the flavorful liquid over both the fish and the rice.
- We normally serve this with a green vegetable.
- Broccoli is good because the head can be used to sop up the extra liquid.
- Yum!
