Baked Tilapia

It's not the fanciest fish, but it's super easy and quick to make, and you can spice it up with whatever you feel like or have on hand.

The basics, courtesy of this handy video (which I don't think I've ever watched past 0:57 - why mess with success?):

Preheat oven to 400 degrees, lightly oil a baking dish, add a bed of spinach, lay the tilapia (defrosted) on top, season however you like, cook 10-15 minutes.  Some ideas I've tried:
  • Italian: garlic, rosemary, salt & pepper; optional cherry tomatoes, red pepper, Parmesan cheese or pepperoni
  • Southwestern: diced jalapenos, a sprinkle of cumin, salt & pepper (below left)
  • Asian: soy sauce, grated ginger, sesame seeds, pepper (below right)
  • Country(?): mustard, thyme, salt & pepper
