recipe review: spicy broiled tilapia with lime

i was making my grocery list last night and saw that tilapia was on sale. i haven't had much seafood lately, so i added tilapia to my list. then, of course, i had to think about how i was going to prepare said tilapia. these fish cakes are a favorite of mine, but i wanted to try something different. off to the recipe binders i went.

this broiled tilapia recipe seemed easy enough, especially since i had everything on hand except the fish and a lime. yes, i used the whole teaspoon of cayenne pepper. i didn't measure the black pepper so it was probably less than the 1/2 teaspoon called for in the recipe. the fish definitely has a bit of a kick but nothing too overpowering. there's some leftover so it'll be interesting to see if the spices mellow out or get stronger over time. i'd make this again, maybe subbing chili powder for some of the cayenne pepper.
