🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    In a small bowl, mix all the spices (paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, black pepper and salt) to form the Cajun blend.

  2. 2

    In another bowl, mix the olive oil and lemon juice. Brush the tilapia fillets with this mixture, then generously sprinkle the Cajun spice blend on both sides. Let rest for 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat a grill pan, griddle or barbecue over medium-high heat. Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and tender inside.

  4. 4

    Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges. Accompany with rice, grilled vegetables or a salad.

Tips & Tricks
  • For a crispier crust, add a pinch of sugar to the Cajun spice blend.
  • Serve with a creamy sauce made from plain yogurt, lemon juice and chopped parsley to soften the spices.
  • You can replace tilapia with cod, sea bass or chicken fillets.
  • Store in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or enjoy cold in a salad.
