Ingredients

Oven-Baked Tilapia

  • 1 pound tilapia fillets (about 2–3 fillets)

  • 1 tablespoon Gefen Olive Oil

  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced or 1 cube Gefen Frozen Garlic

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon Gefen Onion Powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground oregano

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, such as Pereg

Lemon Cilantro Slaw

  • 2 cups mixed shredded cabbage and carrots

  • juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Jalapeño Avocado Crema

  • 2 ripe avocados

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

  • juice of 1 lime (about 1 and 1/2 tablespoons)

  • 1 small jalapeño, seeds removed

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For Assembly

Directions

For the Tilapia

1.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

2.

Place tilapia in a mixing bowl.

3.

Add olive oil, minced garlic, and all the seasonings. Toss gently to coat.

4.

Transfer fillets to a baking sheet lined with Gefen Parchment Paper.

5.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and tender.

Prepare the Lemon Cilantro Slaw

1.

In a mixing bowl, combine mixed cabbage, lemon juice, cilantro, olive oil, and salt.

2.

Toss to coat evenly.

3.

Let sit while the fish bakes — the longer it sits, the better the flavor and texture.

Prepare the Jalapeño Avocado Crema

1.

Add all ingredients to a food processor.

2.

Blend until smooth and creamy.

3.

Add a splash of water if needed to thin for drizzling. Adjust salt or lime to taste.

To Assemble

1.

Fill each tortilla with a scoop of slaw.

2.

Top with chunks of baked tilapia.

3.

Drizzle with jalapeño avocado crema.

4.

Garnish with lime and fresh cilantro, if desired.
