  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

  • 2 tilapia fillets
  • 2 grapeseed oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl combine all of the spices. Press a heaping tablespoon of the spice mix onto each fillet so that both sides are liberally coated. Allow the fish to sit for 15 minutes at room temperature prior to cooking.
