HOBO TILAPIA

There are many "HOBO Spice" recipes but after tweaking a few I have found that this is the most delicious one by far. It is very low in fat and every time I make it even my younger daughter who is not a big fish eater cleans her plate.


2 Tablespoons of Paprika
1 Tablespoon of Onion Powder
1 Teaspoon of Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon of White Pepper
1 Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
1 Teaspoon of  Dried Thyme
1 Teaspoon of Dried Oregano
1/2 Teaspoon of Celery Seed
1/4 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder
* Optional 1 teaspoon of Salt or Low Sodium Salt


4 Pieces of Tilapia (1 pound)
1 Tablespoon of Vegetable oil
Juice of 3 Lemons

Wash Tilapia at pat dry
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl and then spread onto a plate. Coat fish on both sides with the dry rub mixture

Heat  large skillet over High heat. Add oil until almost smoking then place fish in pan. Cook about 3 minutes on each side.
Remove fish from pan then take the lemon juice and put in pan while still hot and scrap bottom of pan with the lemon juice. This creates a delicious sauce that you then pour onto each piece of fish.
