Filete De Tilapia Asado Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the tilapia fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Cook the Rice

   In a saucepan, add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion, red, and green bell peppers. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

4. 4

   Grill the Tilapia

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated tilapia fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

5. 5

   Fry the Plantains

   In a separate skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Peel and slice the plantains diagonally. Fry the slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the grilled tilapia topped with sautéed vegetables, alongside a portion of rice and fried plantains.
