How to Make Achiote Tilapia Super Simple

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons achiote paste, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Place tilapia fillets (about 1 pound) in a shallow baking dish.
3. Pour the achiote marinade over the fish, ensuring they are fully coated.
4. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
5. Preheat your oven's broiler to high. Let it heat for 3-5 minutes.
6. Remove the fish from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Broil the tilapia for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets and your broiler's intensity. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
8. Serve the tilapia immediately. Garnish with lime wedges, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro. Enjoy in warm corn tortillas for delicious fish tacos, or serve over saffron rice for a complete meal.
