Octavio is the Spanish form of Octavius, derived from the Latin âoctavusâ meaning âeighthâ. Octavius was an ancient Roman family name mainly restricted to the plebian classes until being elevated to patrician status thanks to Emperor Augustus (born Gaius Octavius).
Favorite fillets include catfish, salmon, grouper, red snapper, and tilapia. For fillets or steaks, use a ruler to measure the thickness of the fish before cooking, then bake, uncovered, in the preheated 450 degrees F oven for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish.
Broil the tilapia fillets for 4 to 6 minutes, flipping once. Place the pan on the top rack of the oven, no further than 4 inches (10 cm) from the top heating element. At the 2 or 3 minute mark, flip the fillets and continue broiling. Use a fish spatula or other flat, heat-resistant spatula to turn the fish.
