unless you brought the fish fresh and then froze it no recipe should start off saying "thaw it"
Unless you are landlocked like me and fresh fish is VERY hard to find. *Just Sayin'*
just be careful of the country of origin with your frozen fish...

I thaw tilapia, sprinkle cavenders, broil on 475 for 6-7 minutes until it flakes, then sometimes squirt a little lemon juice on top0

I do basil, rosemary and italian herbs on mine! sprinkle a tiny bit of freshly shredded parmesan about 5 minutes before it's done and serve with red roasted potatoes! YUM!0

For tilapia or swai, I bake at 400 in a shallow glass baking dish. Thaw it first. A bit of olive oil to keep it from sticking. Salt, pepper, paprika, or lemon. (But I'm going to try some of the spices recommended above.) Maybe 15 minutes top. It's best to test for flakiness. When I remove it I transfer it to a paper towel to absorb the oil before putting it on my plate.
I do the same as above, however Swai is my favorite for the low calorie/high protein/non fishy taste. I spray the thawed fillets with my olive oil mister, then add Old Bay or Johnny Seasoning, pepper, garlic powder, tumeric and ginger powder. Bake for about 15 mins in a non preheated oven.0 -
IMO, it really depends on the fish. For mild white fish like orange roughy, tilapia, cod, etc. I season lightly because the fish has such a delicate flavor - a little garlic and/or onion powder, and a sprinkle of dried thyme, basil or marjoram. These are also really good if you marinate them for a few minutes in a herbed vinaigrette dressing before baking. They are also good cooked in a light herbed tomato based sauce.
Salmon has a stonger flavor so can stand a little more flavor. I like to add chili powder and black pepper to it. Though salmon is also very good with little seasoning.
I would never bake steak type fish such as swordfish or tuna. These are best grilled or pan seared. One of my favorite dishes is tuna au poivre (encrusted with cracked peppercorns and cooked rare)0 -

I'll bake it from frozen. Usually just put it in tin foil and leave the top open so that the excess moisture gets steamed out. Slice a couple of lemons, put some nice basil on the fish.. sometimes some chili powder to spice it up.
Sea Salt to finish it and serve it with dinner. Yummy!0 -

Simple baked salmon recipe:
Put foil in your baking dish for easy cleanup. Coat lightly with cooking spray or olive oil, whichever you prefer. Lightly season one side with Tony Chacheres Cajun salt and place salt side down. Lightly season the other side. Please a slice of lemon on top. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. Plate it and squeeze some more fresh lemon juice on top. Voila!0 -
I've done this with both cod & tilapia. Salt & pepper the filets, top with salsa, then with crushed tortilla chips, then shredded sharp cheddar. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily.0

Great ideas! Bump0

Try using fresh squeezed orange juice instead of lemon.
Also try grilling shark, or tuna steaks.0 -
I bake my fish in parchment paper packets Place the fish in the middle of a square of parchment paper, top with chopped tomatoes, onion slices, a dollop of low-fat butter, a drizzle of lemon juice and spices of your choice. Fold the parchment paper into a closed packet and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. BE CAREFUL when you open the packet, as there will be steam.0

Rinse and pat dry; spread dijon or spicy mustard on the filet and coat with wheat germ. Bake at 325 or 350. It should take about 15 or 20 minutes. Be very careful to take it out of the oven before it gets overdone, or else it will dry out.0

One trick I found by accident, using what i had on hand. Season with the Mexican Lime salt or Chili Lime salt. Yummm. I always cook fresh or thaw if its frozen. You can pan sear if you use a really good non stick without adding calories. This works best with thinner cuts of fish like tilapia.0

I usually get the frozen tilapias or fresh salmon as these are the only 2 I ever find at a reasoable price. For the tilapia I do it 2 ways:
A. 1. Heat pan w/olive oil, add butter (or omit) just before placing thawed fish in the pan (dry it, make sure to get out excess moisture or it can have a weird texture, I use paper towels to press out the excess water)
I like to season with Mrs. Dash Chili Lime & garlic powder as it reminds me of blackend fish.
2. Sautee one side until almost done then flip and cook in a heated oven for about another 2-5 minutes depending on thckness of the fish.
B.* Fresh salmon (including the steaks) can be cooked the same way but I season that with butter, old bay & lemon pepper with thinly sliced onions. Oven shoud be at 350 degrees.
C.Prepare the tilapias the same way includung the drying process and spinkle with garlic powder, black and Parmesan cheese0
