    I eat a lot of tilapia & I season it with the basis garlic, onion, pepper. But I'm getting sick of the flavor. Any suggestions on making it tastier? Thanks!

    Try this:

    Get cherry tomatoes and stab them multiple times - squeeze the juice over the fish and leave the tomatoes ontop with salt pepper, a knob of butter and 2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar (per fish) and splash over the top, - put in the oven at a low heat - 150 orso

    then in a seperate pan thick slice sweet potatoes and boil for 10mins so they are soft - then melt butter, chilli flakes together to form a sauce, add green brocolli heads, chopped spring onions and some more chili flakes (make it hot!!) :D

    Stir until the sweet potatoes look crispy, and veg is done, then take fish out of the oven and drench in the veg and sauce from the pan - continue to roast for about 30mins more until it looks awesome

    Serve and prepare to taste the best - moistest and most succulent piece of fish ever bar none!!!

    A pic of the dish is here - 1st one is in prep and second is the finished article sorry for the scaling mfp shaves the side of pics!

    This is kind of repetitive, but I tried this recipewith tilapia this weekend and it was good. I seasoned the fish and the panko per the reviews and set the oven rack down lower so the Panko would not burn. The sauce was good as well.

    Good idea about toasting the Panko!

    I like it with red peppers , squash, carrots or any combo of the three. I put the veggies and either Pam or extra virgin olive oil( depends on my mood) in a frying pan cook for five or so minutes then add the fish to the pan. Sometimes I just use garlic, oion powder, pepper and basil. Sometimes I use Asian fish sauce or fajita sauce. If I use fajita sauce I put it In a soft taco shell yumm. Italian dressing, tomato vinaigrette dressing, the possibilities are endless.

    One of our favourite ways to eat tilapia, mahi mahi is in a bowl add 1tsp of olive oil, oregano, lemon zest, a little lemon juice, salt &pepper, parsley. Sit your fish in it to marinate a short while. Then when done marinating place the fish in a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season some panko bread crumbs and sprinkle a little on top. Spray with olive oil spray and bake 400degrees until baked.
    The other way i love to eat this type of fish is just simply seasoned and served along side some hot horseradish. You can use freshly grated or a prepared horseradish. One prepared horseradish that will blow your socks off in heat is Atomic Horseradish. It will bring tears to your eyes and take your breath away, it's soooo hot! We put it on just about everything.lol My mouth is watering just thinking about it. ;)

    I like to serve my tilapia with fresh lime juice but also with a Tomato Lime Cilantro salsa. I leave out the chili in the recipe below but it's super simple and very tasty (if you like cilantro). It goes very well with tilapia.

    I use lemon and Mrs. Dash. Lay onions on top. Occasionally a little crumbled feta cheese. So good.

    Mexican fish is one of my favourite dishes!

    I frequently use this recipe:

    http://pinchofyum.com/spicy-fish-taco-bowls

    "This is like a Chipotle burrito bowl, but it’s made with spicy fish and you can put as many pieces of avocado on as you want without paying two dollars extra. It’s what my Mexican food dreams are made of: avocado, brown rice, garlic, roasted corn and peppers, black beans, avocado, cilantro, cheese, avocado, and spicy fish. And avocado. With a little avocado on top."

    I like mine with chili powder,, cumin, salt, pepper and lime juice. Season it, wrap it in aluminum foil and pop it in the oven. It's moist and flavorful. When it's done, you can add salsa and a little sour cream as a topping. Another way I like it, is to pan sautee it in a little olive oil, season it with Jerk seasoning and then right before you take it out of the pan, pour a couple of tablespoons of Mango Vinaigrette Salad dressing over it to make a sweet, tangy glaze.

    I like to pan fry, dredged in flour which gives fillets a crispy crust. Then add a cold sauce. The cold sauces freeze well so you can make batches in advance.
