Ingredients

1 (6-ounce) tilapia fillet
Pinch ground cumin
Pinch cayenne pepper
Pinch paprika
Pinch kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Tilapia Salad, recipe follows
Cashew Yogurt Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

Heat the grill. Cut the fillet in 1/2 lengthwise. Lightly season the fish with the cumin, cayenne, paprika, and salt. Coat each piece in olive oil and grill, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. To plate, begin by covering a dinner plate with a layer of cashew yogurt sauce. Place the pieces of grilled tilapia in the center, overlapping one another. Top the fish with the tilapia salad and place the tangerine segments around the plate.

3 quarts plain yogurt

6 limes, juiced

1 1/2 bunches fresh cilantro leaves

I only made the fish, not the salad or yogurt. It was easy to make and tasted great

Excellent flavors
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The tilapia was great - For two people, I doubled the recipe for the salad (except used one 1 tangerine). First time I cut... the sauce in thirds and had way too much but that gave me an excuse to serve the recipe several times over the next couple of weeks as the sauce kept fresh easily. Next time I made the sauce I used a cup of yogurt, juice of 1 lime, 1 garlic clove (was too much) and the others to taste. This recipe will definitely stay in my recipe box!Read more

great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The fish was wonderful and had excellent flavor (I used generous amounts of cayenne, we like spice!), I cut down the sauce by... using 1 carton of 6 oz fat free yogurt, and the juice of 1 lime, 1 piece of a bulb of garlic and dashes to taste of the other listed ingredients and the sauce was to die for, it really brought out the flavor of the fish. We will definitely have this as a favorite in our home!Read more

The tilapia fell apart and it was too much garlic.

More Spice
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I coated each side of the talapia with olive oil, then lightly seasoned both sides. A pinch of seasoning was not sufficient.... This gave the talapia more heat and a little more spice. Adjust the cayanne pepper for more or less spicyness (I like it more spicy). Instead of grilling, I used a grill pan and used the left over olive oil and spices to sautee some onions as a topping.Read more
