So I am thinking of having fish for supper tonight...more specifically Tilapia. Any cooking suggestions/ideas? I usually just spice it and broil it but getting kind of bored with that.

    Wrap it in some tin foil with lemon juice (real lemon juice) and some pepper and steam it in the oven for 10-15 min. So yummy and tender.

    Search the recipe forum for "puffed tilapia". It's incredible! Kinda high in sodium though if that's an issue for you.

    papillote is fun. Wrap it in parchment paper and bake. Add lemon juice, a touch of white wine, and veggies : julienned carrots/red pepper/leeks/grape tomatoes/greens & fresh herbs like parsley or rosemary or whatever veggies & herbs you have on hand. Since it's wrapped up, it's getting a lovely steam.

    I sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, wrap in foil, put on a baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes

    I always find myself scrambling it up with egg whites, spinach and some sort of soft cheese (goat! neufchatel!) and a buttload of Mrs. Dash.

    I love Tony Cachere's on mine with lemon and garlic...broiled or grilled on the grill. I had tilapia last night!

    Seasoned panko crumbs

    Wash: one egg, 1/4 C canola oil, 1 TB Dijon mustard - whip up..

    Dip the tilapia in the wash, coat with bread crumbs and either do a pan fry or an oven bake..

    OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BABY!

    Tilapia is a very bland tasting fish, to me. I'd get fish seasoning, salt, pepper, and/or I've heard on putting mayo on fish....but that may be fattening.

    Tilapia just tastes like chewing on a wad of paper to me. Weird.

    I steam mine with brown rice (in a rice cooker/steamer) with crushed garlic, rosemary, kosher salt, a touch of soy sauce, chili powder and pepper. It is delicious, no butter needed :)

    I pan cook mine in olive oil, then add garlic, onions and peppers to the fish, then serve the crumbled tilapia mixed with the veggies on top of some brown rice.

    LOVE IT!

    I'm not a big fish eater but when I do, I use the Panko Crumbs, season with a little salt & pepper and Mrs Dash. I mix one egg with a little water, dip the fish in the egg/water mix then in panko crumbs... Bake at 350 on a foil lined baking sheet sprayed with non stick cooking spray, flipping a few times while cooking.
