Ok i love shellfish, but am not a huge fish fan. I have started trying new foods and Tilapia is on the list of things to try. I have some frozen filets and want to make a healthy dinner with them tonight. What should I do with them?

    I dust with Old Bay or Cajun seasoning, then pan "fry" using cooking spray.

    thanks everyone....I tried to Old Bay seasoning and cooking it in a pan.......was good considering i usually don't like fish. Next time i'll have to try that parmesean crusted one!

    Marinate fillets in 3 tblsps olive oil, 6 crushed garlic, juice of one lemon, salt and pepper to taste and broil until fish is white a flakes easily. Serve with salad and pasta with parmesan cheese. Delicious!

    You can steam them with chicken broth and lemon instead of water.

    I take my favorite mustard, dilute it with water, add a bit of hot sauce. I dunk the fillet in the mustard wash, then 'roll' it in seasoned cornmeal minus salt. I put it on a cookie sheet covered in foil and sprayed with oil and bake it at 350-375 until done flipping the fillets after 10 minutes.

    About a tablespoon of cornmeal sticks to each fillet.

    Red Lobster Nantucket Cod (or Tilapia)

    Lots of recipes on the 'net, but essentially:

    brush with melted butter (I sometimes skip this if I'm low on cals for the day)
    squeeze lemon juice
    dust with a mixture of: 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of paprkia, a pinch of cayenne, and a pinch of black pepper
    cover with thinly slice tomatoes
    sprinkle with parmesean
    bake at 425 for 5 mins and then broil until cheese is brown

    about 225 cals per serving

    I bought a single frozen filet @ the grocery store yesterday because I wanted to try it. I also like seafood but fish, not so much..

    Perfect timing!

    Yes, this is what I do most of the time and it's oh so delish!

    Sometimes I will combine italian bread crumbs with a 3 cheese shredded blend and use it as a crust and broil or bake. It's an easy and yummy one too. Even the kids like it!
