Baked Tilapia with SUYA

Ingredients 

4 medium tilapia

4 habanero pepper

3 tbsp. of adobo salt

7 oz. of ginger 

3 oz. of onion 

4 tbsp. of Suya pepper

3/4 cup of vegetable oil

Procedure
Remove all scales and cut off every fin

Wash the fish in water and rinse thoroughly

Blend the Ginger, Habanero pepper, onions with oil

Mix the Habanero pepper, ginger, onion , Suya and Adobo in a bowl

Cut 3 slits into the sides of the fish (on a cutting board) or cut the fish in pieces like I did. 

PLEASE DO NOT PUT THE FISH IN YOUR HAND TO CUT THE SLITS. I CAN’T TELL YOU MY STORY. I KNOW WE AFRICANS DO THIS A LOT ….

Dip the whole fish into the marinade (mixture) for good seasoning

Then rub the remaining marinade ON THE FISH, make sure it enter the slits

Set your oven to 425 F, this should take about 25 minutes to warm. 

Allow the fish to marinate 

Splash  some oil in the baking pan
Line-up the fish on the pan 

Also splash the fish with some oil then just bake!!

Check on the fish every 10 minutes and use long tongs to turn the fish

In about 30 minutes, it should be done

Lower the temperature to 250 and allow the fish to bake for 10 minutes more just for a perfect look…

Serve with Kenkey, Banku, Rice, fried potatoes or yam
