I love eating well. But there’s one thing that I love more than eating well: Easy cooking!

B goes out of town for business every now and then, and when I’m alone, don’t want to cook something complicated just for me. Guess what I’m having tonight? This dish!

I like tilapia. It’s one of those go-to fish that doesn’t have a fishy taste or smell, and defrosts completely under running water in 2 minutes. Easy and delicious.

That’s it. Really. And it’s delicious!

Goya Adobo powder is an all-seasoning powder I grew up seeing in my family’s kitchen. It is a blend of garlic, turmeric, salt, and oregano. You can purchase it with or without black pepper in the Hispanic/Asian aisle of your local supermarket. It is not to be confused with Filipino Adobo (which is also delicious), but it is rather a staple in the kitchens of Caribbean immigrants.

I recommend Mexican oregano as opposed to Italian oregano. Mexican oregano is more fragrant and more flavorful, but Italian oregano will do in a pinch. Italian oregano is what McCormick and other popular companies package. Look for Mexican oregano in the Hispanic/Ethnic aisle of your supermarket.

    I don’t even eat fish, and that looks absolutely amazing! What else do you use the Goya Adobo powder on?

  3. Kayla Nelms White says

    This looks SO good. I’ve recently started finding a love for tilapia so I will be trying this! Thanks for sharing!

    I love anything easy and healthy! Tilapia is definitely that. I’ll be trying out the Goya Adobo powder for sure, it sounds good!

      Yay! I forgot to add that I also used Mexican oregano (not all of the black crust is black pepper). You can use Italian oregano (the McCormick stuff) but once you try Mexican oregano you won’t go back!

    I’m always nervous to try cooking fish by myself, not sure why. I might have to give this a shot though :)

      If you’re nervous about cooking them, you could always buy Ziploc Steamer Bags and pop them in the microwave (still frozen) for 4 minutes. Easy peasy!

    Love easy tilapia recipes! I buy the giant bag of them at Costco and can never figure out anything new and different to try…
