Chili-Rubbed Tilapia with Asparagus & Lemon

My husband said "don't make tilapia any other way". :). I followed the recipe except subbed fresh green beans for the asparagus (and altered the steaming time). Excellent!

I made this one evening because I wanted to do something different with fish. I used cod and tilapia. Added a tablespoon extra chili powder, one teaspoon fresh grated garlic, one tablespoon lime juice and used string beans because that's what I had on hand. My 16 year old added some steamed brown rice to her plate but I had mine just as it is. My palate and tummy were extremely happy. I will definitely be making this dish again.

Perfect. Only thing I did was double the spice.. easier rub..covered the pan while cooking a couple extra minutes par side. I need any kind of meat cooked!! Perfect. Tender and yummy. Adding to my recipe box.

Easy and excellent.

The tilapia was simple and delicious! The asparagus was overpowered by lemon. I used 1 bunch of fresh asparagus (about 1 lb) and would 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice at the most. This would have gone nicely with roasted red potatoes or mashed potatoes.

Instead of making the rub I just sprinkled the seasoning on the fish and I didn't use lemon at all! It was delicious! Thank You.

I wouldn't put as much lemon juice as it calls for, it made the asparagus to sour.

Easy, quick, yet delicious. My favorite fish recipe ever! Pros: So easy yet delicious

Easy and fulfilling Used Cod instead of Tilapia but it still came out great. Maybe on the tad salty side but that could have been my doing. The aspargus came out amazing! I think I liked them more than the fish itself. Pros: Quick prep and cook time, healthy

Too HOT! I think the 2 TABLESPOONS of Chili powder should have been 2 Teaspoons. I love spicy food but I think this dish was thrown off balance by way too much chili. Can the authors please review this recipePros: easy to prepareCons: too much chili powder

Good but SPICY!! This was a very flavorful fish recipe. It was also very spicy. I used the amount of chili powder called for in the recipe and both my husband and myself were having a hard time eating it.........and we are from New Mexico and grew up on spicy food. Next time I will use less chili powder.

So Simple but Tasty! I already love tilapia, it's usually my go-to fish. This rub was so easy to throw together and made the fish extremely flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

Shut my mouth and slap my momma! This spice rub is so much more flavorful than the marinade I was using on tilapia previously. It seared the fish, so that the outside was crisp and the inside was tender. What really wowed me is the effect on the asparagus. I love asparagus already, full disclosure, but I didn't know it could taste so good spicy. I did have to make an alternative rub to use for the members of the family who can't handle the chili - I used 1T of Mrs Dash in place of the 2T of Chili Powder for them, and dredged their fish lighter than I dredged mine. Pros: This spice blend does wonderful things for asparagus. Cons: You will need to come up with an alternative spice blend for the spicy-averse members of the family.

Light, Flavorful, satisfying! Great flavor! Great way to make tilapia tasty! We will be eating this at least once a week. Pros: Light, flavorful, satisfying! Cons: You tell me.

Nice Change I was able to cut the calories and saturated fat by reducing the amount of olive oil by 50%. Just make sure you are using a non-stick pan and the results will be just as good. Pros: Easy, Quick To Prepare

i have to say... i made this dish with broocoli instead of asparagus, and it was great! one thing... i think i overdid it with the chili powder

For a family that does like like wish we will be making this again! Very light and healthy with a punch of flavor.
