Chile Rubbed Tilapia


This is my own version of a spice rub for fish. Those of you stuck inside from this colossal winter storm would enjoy this recipe because it'll certainly warm you up from the biting cold outside. Keep in mind though that there is no salt in this recipe because I'm on a very low salt diet but if you are not, you can add 1 teaspoon of salt to this recipe.

This mixture will make a lot but it keeps well so store it in an airtight container at room temperature. When you're ready to cook the fish, liberally coat both sides and cook like normal.

3 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspon ground ginger
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For my meal, I paired this with the sweet and sour rice with green apple. It's a nice culinary vacation when you're getting especially tired of baked chicken and rice.
