Fake an afternoon’s worth of cooking with this quick and savory dish.
We’d suggest using a virgin olive oil, instead of refined olive oil.
No, we’re not trying to squander your money on a more expensive option.

Ten-minute Tilapia with Cardamom and Cilantro
Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 6-ounce Tilapia
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cardamom
½ teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 Fresh limes, thinly sliced
¼ cup packed cilantro
Preheat oven to 400°F. On a plate or a piece of wax paper, mix flour, cardamom, and paprika. Sprinkle fish filets with salt and dip in the flour mixture. Place a large, oven-proof skillet over high heat. Add the oil. When the oil is hot add the fish filets and cook 1-2 minutes per side, until the flour coating becomes crisp.
Top with lime slices and place the skillet into the oven. Cook an additional 5-6 minutes until the fish is cooked through and not longer translucent in the center. Top with cilantro and serve immediately.
