Tilapia fish recipes?

ShaylaxCapri

I was wondering if anyone knew some great tilapia fish recipes? I would like to have some for dinner because I would like to try something different.

Haven't tried with tilapia yet but with cod loin, should work the same. Place enough foil in pan to seal your fish then pour a little olive oil in. Brush about a tblsp of pesto over each filet and squeeze a little lemon juice over that. Wrap in foil and bake at 350 for about 30 - 40 minutes.

ALLRECIPES.COM has a great recipe called Summertime Tilapia. I use less sugar (or none) and I dont use the tequila. Very tasty and very easy.

I season my tilapia with garlic salt, black pepper, and dillweed, then press it into whole wheat flour and pan-sear it in coconut oil. Make sure to get the oil nice and hot, and do not turn it too frequently or it will fall apart. You want that nice, brown crust on both sides! I usually serve it with plenty of veggies and a side of quinoa or rice. I also love to dip it in Tzatziki (if I've got extra calories to budget.)

My talapia is easy... Just season with some form of Cajun seasoning or Mrs Dash, bake in oven, put in corn tortilla, with spinich, pico and a little ranch. Served with side of charro beans and / or rice. Dinner is served.

I would avoid Tilapia because of the way it is farmed and it being relatively unhealthy compared to most other fish. However, it's a very sturdy fish and you can make it almost any way you would make salmon or chicken, so don't confine yourself just to tilapia recipes when doing a search.

Coconut Crusted Tilapia with Miami Mango Salsa

To make fish:
4 tilapia fillets
pinch of each: cumin and coriander
sea salt
1/4 c flour
1 egg
splash of milk
1 c panko bread crumbs
1 c coconut flakes
2-3 T coconut oil
lime

1. Season fish with a light dusting of spices and a generous sprinkle of sea salt.

2. Prepare a breading station for fish by lining up 3 bowls. In the first, put the flour. In the second, whisk together the egg and milk. In the third, mix the coconut and panko crumbs. Dip each fillet into the three bowls in this order: flour, egg bath, coconut. Coat well.

3. Heat oil in frying pan over a medium high flame. When hot add the fish. Turn fish when the flakes start to brown, about 2 minutes. Repeat on the second side. Carefully poke a knife to make sure the center is cooked.

4. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve immediately with lime wedges and Miami Mango Salsa.

Miami Mango Salsa

This is a sweet salsa, but if you want heat add red pepper flakes or chillis.

1 ripe mango
1/2 red bell pepper
1 shallot
4 T fresh chopped cilantro
juice and zest of 1 lime
sea salt

1. Cut mango, pepper and shallot into a fine dice.

2. Combine all ingredients and season with sea salt to your taste. Allow flavors to meld together for at least 30 minutes. This can be made in advance as the longer it sits, the better it gets, up to 3 days.

My husband and I have a very simple talapia recipe that we use every time... its Delicious, and healthy!

Just take the fish, and cover it in black pepper, (you can go heavier or lighter depending on how well you guys like black pepper) and put them on a cookie sheet (or baking sheet). Make sure to get both sides of the fish. Then take a fresh lemon (or bottled lemon juice) cut it into slices and cook the lemon on top of the fish. I use 1 lemon for 4 fish (the frozen ones from the store is what I use and they are individually packaged, I use 4 of them), It helps to cut the lemon slices in half so you have easy to squeeze pieces. Bake it in the oven until the fish is flaky (you just take a fork to tell if the meat in the center is flaky or not, usually takes 15-30 min but can vary depending on how big the fish pieces are). When you go to eat it, squeeze the warm lemon pieces onto the fish! (or mash them onto it with a fork either work). Its simple, quick... and oh so good!

I can help with this one.

The first is just a plain old baked whitefish.

Sprinkle on a little Lawrey's season salt place a slice of onion and a pat of butter on top. Bake at 350 untill fish is flakey. Takes about 20 minutes.

You can add onto that by making a mango salsa and pouring it over top of the fish. This is truely awesome.

The third option, I call microwave fish meals.

Place 1 portion of fish in the bottom of a microwave safe dish that has a lid. Sprinkle on a little seasoning of your choice. Cut of veggies of your choice into bit size pieces and throw then into the container. I use bell peppr slices, mushrooms, brussles sprouts and sweet potatoes but you can use almost anything. Put a pat of butter on top, cover and microwave for five minutes. I take these to work for lunch. Easy to make and convenient. If you have a group everyone can customize them to their own liking.

Tilapia with Grapefruit-Caper Sauce

http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/tilapia_grapefruit_caper_sauce.html

From EatingWell: January/February 2014
In this healthy, quick tilapia recipe, you’ll combine grapefruit, shallot, capers, butter and a touch of honey for a rich, bittersweet sauce. Any grapefruit will work, but vibrant ruby-red grapefruit is the prettiest. Serve with whole-wheat couscous and broccolini.

4 servings, 4 oz. fish & 2 tbsp. sauce each | Active Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

2 medium red grapefruit
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1-1 1/4 pounds tilapia
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons honey
Preparation

Slice both ends off one grapefruit. With a sharp knife, remove the peel and white pith; discard. Working over a small bowl, cut the segments from their surrounding membranes. Set aside. Juice the second grapefruit into another small bowl. Drain any accumulated juice from the segments into the bowl with juice.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add the fish to the pan and cook until browned and opaque in the middle, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate, leaving behind as much oil as possible. Tent with foil to keep warm.
Add shallot to the pan over medium-high heat; cook, stirring, until starting to brown, about 1 minute. Add the grapefruit juice, capers, butter, honey and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and stir the grapefruit segments into the sauce. Serve the fish with the sauce.
