Ingredients
Directions
- Position an oven rack 3 to 4 inches from the broiler element and preheat the broiler. Line the broiler-pan rack with foil and lightly oil it.
- In a blender, combine the cilantro, vegetable oil, chopped chipotle chiles with a spoonful of the adobo sauce, water, and cumin. Blend until smooth and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Pat the tilapia dry, separate into fillets, and coat all over with the sauce.
- Arrange the coated fillets on the prepared rack and broil until just cooked through and lightly charred at the edges, 6 to 9 minutes, depending on thickness. Serve immediately.
