For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the tilapia instead of baking. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled asparagus, a fresh salad, or a flavorful rice pilaf. If you don't have fresh oregano, you can substitute with 1 tablespoon of dried oregano. However, fresh oregano provides a brighter, more vibrant flavor.

01 Step
Recipe View In a gallon-sized resealable bag, combine the minced shallots, chopped garlic, fresh oregano, white sugar, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, tequila, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously to ensure all ingredients are well combined. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Gently add the tilapia fillets to the bag, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Seal the bag, removing any excess air, and place it in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, turning the bag every 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the fish. (Marinating time: 2-4 hours)
03 Step
Recipe View Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Carefully remove the tilapia fillets from the marinade, discarding the remaining marinade. Arrange the marinated fish on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. This should take approximately 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. (Bake time: 10 minutes)
