olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is healthier.

cabbage

🥗Healthier: kale

💰Cheaper: lettuce

Kale adds nutrients while lettuce is more affordable.

cayenne pepper

🥗Healthier: paprika

💰Cheaper: red pepper flakes

Paprika provides flavor without the heat.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Clean and gut the tilapia, then pat dry with paper towels.

Season the tilapia with olive oil, garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.

Place the tilapia on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and flaky.

While the fish is baking, prepare the akyeke by steaming it until fluffy.

Chop the onion, bell pepper, tomato, cabbage, carrot, and cucumber into small pieces.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant.

Add the bell pepper and tomato, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Mix in the steamed akyeke and season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Serve the grilled tilapia on a plate alongside the akyeke and garnish with parsley.
