Get some tilapia from your local store (as many pieces as you want)
Green onions (chopped)
Seasoned Salt
Garlic Salt
Olive Oil

Preheat oven to 350.

In a casserole dish put olive oil in the bottom, put the fish in, sprinkle green onions all over (as many or as little as you want), dash of seasoned salt and dash of garlic salt (just a little for flavor). Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.

Easy and delicious!

You can substitute the seasoned salt and garlic salt for whatever seasoning you want I just think that way tastes the best! :smile:

    Thanks - I'll have to try this!

    I've just recently found Tilapia - a bag of individually wrapped pieces at my local Walmart. I like that it's individually wrapped since I only cook for myself.

    I've been using the Land-O-Lakes Saute Express Lemon Pepper and just saute the fish. It's really quick and very tasty.

    I do something similar. I take 2 frozen tilapia filets and put them in a round baking pan. I drizzle olive oil over it, add some freshly minced garlic, and then a side of frozen or fresh vegetables. I bake them in my FlavorWave oven (best gift from my husband ever!) and before eating, I add freshly squeezed lime and sea salt. Sometimes I eat the fish with Sriracha hot sauce for an added kick. I love tilapia!

    Tilapia is my favorite fish to eat. I like the single packs from Whole Foods. You get 2 filets for so few calories. I often grill mine up on the foreman with some fresh lemon juice and creole seasoning.

    Tilapia is great. I've also baked it using a spicy salsa over the top. Even pineapple salsa works - sweet and sour fish :)

    If you saw how tilapia is raised and farmed you may not be super stoked about it. There's better fish available, swai for example. Good on you for eating healthier, but you can do better than a trash fish.

    To save on clean up, use sections of aluminum foil, place the tilapia on the dull side, season. Then pull the two long sides up and then fold them over flattening it almost on top of the fish (leave a little room for heat/air) and then fold the ends over so the juice does not leak out. place each individual pod in the oven on a rack or backing sheet.

    When they are done, roll the fish onto a plate and throw the aluminum away.

    I love tilapia! I had been preparing it with dried bread crumbs and baking it in the oven. However, lately I've been preparing it differently.

    I place one filet on a piece of foil and top with a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and lemon pepper/pepper (for 3 filets, I used 1-1/2 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp olive oil). I then sprinkled a generous amount of dillweed on each filet (or use whatever herb you prefer). Seal all edges of the foil to hold in the steam, tenting the foil around the filet. Bake at 425 - 450 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. The steam keeps the tilapia very moist---even if it is overcooked somewhat. When preparing the tilapia with the dry bread crumbs, I was eating it wtih a bit of tartar sauce becaues it was drier. I don't even need the tartar sauce when I prepare it this way.

    P.S. ---- Recipe for above can be found at skinnytaste.com

    I love tilapia. I like to sauté red peppers, carrots, and what ever other veggies are handy in olive oil for a few minutes then add the fish to the pan. Cook it for about 4 min flip it cook another four and then yummy in my tummy lol. If I have a day were I know I am going to exercise or if I am more hungry I will add some rice.

    I also like to make fish fajitas out of it mmmmm
