Trying to include more fish in our weekly meals. One night salmon and one night tilapia a week. Sooo I have a ton of salmon recipes that we love (though will always take more) but I have a hard time find tilapia recipes that are good. So share yours :) Bonus if its kid friendly!

    I like to keep things simple and easy, and I love tilapia, so my favorite (fast) way to make it is to simply soak it in a little bit of lemon juice and then sprinkle the fillets with garlic powder, chili powder, and seasoned pepper. Then I grill it on my George Foreman grill.

    Nothing fancy, but I think it tastes great :)

    I like to pan fry it in water and serve it with teriyaki sauce, rice, and steamed veggies.

    I pan sear my Tilapia with some spices (olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika usually) then cut it up and make fish tacos out of it (soft shells). Add some mango salsa, guacamole, onions, etc. Whatever you like! Yummm!

    I rinse my tilapia with water, then season it with lemon pepper add a few slices of thin slice lemon put in a foil pack and back
    also rinse season bake in a foil pack and add some form of salsa.
    I do use a forman but it bothers i place foil on top and bottom of the fish (sprayed with pam first) then i throw the foil away. easy clean up that way

    My daughter says that this is the best fish ever... She would eat it like crazy.

    Put 1/2 c slivered almonds in food processor and pulse until fairly smooth. Place in a bowl with 1/2 c seasoned panko. Dip tilapia in egg white and then place in panko/almond mixture. Press down firmly on both sides to help ensure the mixture sticks. Pan fry in ~2 tsp olive oil.

    I posted this fish taco recipe last year and it's my absolute go-to for tilapia tacos. It's positively AMAZING! (and you'll see a picture!)

    Weird this is just what I had for dinner tonight.
    Easy, simple and fast.
    In a aluminium foil sheet, place one leaf of Swiss chard (stem removed), some bean sprouts, one skinless tilapia filet on top, drizzle a bit of lemon juice, EVOO and sprinkle 1-2 tbsp of ground flax seeds on top of the fish.
    Fold the foil to create a pouch and cook for approx. 20 minutes at 325-350. Then, uncover the fish set the oven at broil for 5 minutes to crisp up the flax crust.
    Some salt and pepper and you have a great meal!
