Lime Cilantro Tilapia (Ceviche)

I wanted to make this Peruvian dish my husband LOVES from his mission in Peru. It is called Ceviche but it is basically fish cooked in lime juice. HOWEVER, I just can't quite get myself to eat raw fish. (Even though I have tried it and it was good)

I combined this recipe with one I found online to make the following:

8-10 filets of Tilapia
1 cup of fresh lime juice (Can you imagine me squeezing 40+ limes?)
4 TBL of cilantro
1 tsp of Kosher salt
1 clove of garlic

I did try this out on my family first and we all enjoyed it (except for one very cute picky little girl)

Blend everything but the fish and let the Tilapia marinate in the lime juice. Bake at 350 for approximately 10 minutes. It does not take long and it is very easy to over cook. As soon as it flakes with a fork it is done.

PS  - If you want to try the Peruvian Ceviche you will need more fresh lime juice to completely cover the fish so it can cook in the acidity.
