World's Easiest Roasted Tilapia
Use one piece of Tilapia per person, recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from the cooking instructions on Highliner Tilapia Loins.
Tilapia pieces, one per person
olive oil, about 1 tsp. per piece of fish
fish rub of your choice, like Szeged Fish Rub or Kirkland Herbed Seafood Rub, about 1/2 tsp. per piece of fish
Thaw frozen Tilapia over night in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator and let come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cooking. (If using Tilapia loins that are individually sealed in plastic bags, you can put the bags in hot water for a few minutes to warm the fish instead of waiting.)
Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400 F. Put fish pieces in non-stick roasting pan (or spray pan with non-stick spray.) Drizzle fish on both sides with olive oil, and rub to coat entire surface of the fish, then sprinkle with fish rub and rub around with fingers.
Roast fish 25 minutes or until it looks slightly browned and is starting to flake apart a little. (The package directions recommended 30-32 minutes cooking time, which I found was a bit too long.) Serve hot, with Double Dill South Beach Diet Friendly Tartar Sauce if desired.
