- Stir together the cooked rice, salsa, beans, pineapple, and remaining 2 Tbls of the cilantro in a 2 or 3-quart baking dish.
- Remove the tilapia from the marinade, reserve the marinade, and lay the fish fillets over the rice mixture, overlapping if necessary. Pour the reserved marinade over the fish. Shingle the lime slices over the fish.
- Bake until the fish flakes easily, is opaque, and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
