Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a
glass baking dish with foil and spray with
nonstick cooking spray. Brush both sides of the
tilapia with a light coating of olive oil and
season each side with salt and pepper. Sprinkle
the smoked paprika on top of the fish. Put the
fish in the oven to bake, about 20-30 minutes,
until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a
fork.
Meanwhile, make the chimichurri. (This could be
done in the food processor, but if you don’t mind
a more rustic sauce, you can simply chop the
ingredients together on the cutting board, as I
did on this occassion.) Finely chop the parsley
and garlic together. Add the lemon juice, 1 Tbsp.
olive oil, red pepper flakes, and a little salt
and pepper and mix well.
About 5 minutes before the fish is done, coat each
tilapia fillet with 2 Tbsp. of the chimichurri.
When the fish is done, remove from the oven, serve,
and enjoy!

Very good served with broccoli florets squeezed with fresh lemon juice and oven-roasted red potatoes.
