I need some good tilapia recipes

IveLanded

In the seasoning section there is a seasoning specifically for fish called Old Bay. Several other companies make versions of it, and they are all usually together. I put my talapia in a dish, squeeze some lemon or lime on it, sprinkle some Old Bay, and then I usually sprinkle a dash of cayenne as well. That's my favorite way to cook it.

Oh, and I bake it at 375 for about 25 minutes, covered.

Tilapia marinates really well. Make a marinade with grated ginger, garlic, fresh lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce and a *drop* of sesame oil. Leave in marinade for about a half hour and broil. It's delicious!

I broil tilapia for several minutes according to the bag (buy mine frozen in bulk) with McCormick seasoning with mango & lime. Just love that seasoning. Here's the link: http://www.weberseasonings.com/product-detail?id=7&sel=shake Usually steam some veggies and have brown rice or couscous. Thanks for the topic. Will pick up some good ideas for other ways to eat it. :drinker:

I LOVE TO GRILL FISH ON TOP OF FRUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This is great way to cook fish,
cuz, if i cook it indoors,
whole kitchen smells funny for a day,:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:
and if i grill it outdoors

---

FISH STICKS TO GRILLS very very much.:grumble:

Those "grill baskets" meant for cooking fish, are sooooooooo hard to clean,
and often the fish still sticks to grill-basket anyway. And using pre-soaked pieces of wood is a pain to keep replacing and pre-soaking for an hour or more
every time i grill fish........:huh: I grill all year long, and shovel path through the snow to the grill in the winter time.:drinker:

HERE IS MOST AWESOME RECIPE FOR COOKING FISH ON TOP OF FRUIT:

(note you throw away the fruit you used under the fish,
and serve with another piece of grilled fruit instead)

Fish and fruit....I've only ever tried lemon/lime, but normally, I bread/fry them, unless it's trout, which gets pan seared, then it's already done!

I bake mine at 400 for 20 min. I season it with light butter, garlic pepper and onion powder. It is really good.

All we do at home is add some crushed red pepper and lemon pepper....no added calories but that extra spice makes it DELICIOUS!!

Oh and we bake it. Only takes like 10 minutes in the oven. I don't know what temperature the BF puts the oven on...if you need to know that too, message me and I'll find out. I'm lucky, I don't have to cook....BF does aaaaaall the cooking :bigsmile:

My favorite way to have it is sprinkled with Chef Paul Prudhomme's Magic Seafood Seasoning and just pan fried with some non-stick spray (or butter is better if you can afford the fat/calories).

i just season with garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper... sometimes i top with a little salsa... pair with some steamed veggies... i eat this at least 3 times a week

Here is my recipe for tilapia: Go back to the store and buy a fish that doesn't taste like a damp basement.

Talapia lightly coated in lemon pepper panko and broiled is my favorite and easiest talapia recipe.

djc315

Oven at 350 degrees.


Get parchment paper.


Lemons (sliced thinly)
White or yellow onion (sliced thinly)
Green beans
Your favorite white wine
Grape tomatoes, sliced in half.



Cut the parchment paper into a big heart.
Fold the heart in half, place the piece of fish in the parchment paper then fold up the sides.
Unfold the parchment paper (you fold it so the liquid doesn't spill everywhere)

Remove the fish from the parchment paper.
Place green beans, onions in parchment paper. Place fish on top. Top with lemon slices and grape tomatoes. Add 1-2 tablespoons of wine (or more, up to you)
Salt and pepper to your tastes.

Fold back up.

Bake.

I always cook them in individual portions. They take anywhere from 20-30 minutes depending on the thickness.

Someday when you are ready, do consider branching out away from the breaded fried fish,
and try some grilled fish. As healthy as you eat now, as part of your journey to a healthier you, i bet you don't eat a lot of breaded fried chicken, or fired breaded pork, by now. It's kind of the same with fish, once you get used to grilled or broiled fish, it's hard to go back to the fried breading.
but then again, i love love love all seafood, all of it. I grew up on the breaded fried fish, but, learned to love fish decades ago. Now i can't stand the breaded fried kind unless it's been given to me or some odd reason i'd be eating breaded fried fish...it tastes so so greasy to me. yuck!

I think most white fish tastes all about the same, (others disagree, but really, *i* can hardly tell one whitefish from another, they are all so much the same to me, love 'em ALL)
but, maybe if you are unaccustomed to unbreaded fish,
maybe salmon, shark, or one of those types of fish might be good place to start experimenting with unbreaded fish. maybe.

My alltime favorite fish, is swordfish, maybe give that one a try,
without breading or frying it.
