  • 3 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt, or to taste

Step 1
Mix together paprika, onion powder, salt, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, celery seed, and garlic powder in a large, shallow dish. Place tilapia fillets into the dish and coat well with spice mixture; allow to sit at room temperature for no more than 30 minutes.
