Wash the tilapia with lemon juice and a brush to remove any smell.

Rinse the fish with cold water.

Pat the fish dry with a paper towel.

Make 4 to 6 cuts on each side of the fish for seasoning.

Season the fish with maggi and salt.

Chop basil, green onions, and celery, and prepare other spices.

Cook the chopped vegetables in a pot with some vegetable oil and water on medium to low heat for about 8 minutes.

Blend the cooked ingredients into a smooth paste.

Add more maggi and salt to the blended mixture for seasoning.

Rub the seasoning generously over the fish and let it marinate for 40 minutes.

Preheat the oven and broil the fish on low heat for 10 minutes, then switch to high broil for the last few minutes, flipping the fish halfway through.
