Interesting ways to spice up white fish?

I put mango habanero salsa in with mine to bake.

I like Tilapia. Here are a couple of recipes I do

Spicy Tilapia with Aoli

• 2 pounds tilapia fillets
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp cumin

Aioli
• 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise (light mayo works well for this and keeps the calories down)
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-1/2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1-1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 3/4 tsp dried tarragon


Lemon-garlic Tilapia (similar to your standard above, but the lemon and parsley add a good flavor)
4 tilapia filets
• 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp parsley flakes
• pepper (to taste)

You could also bread them in panko bread crumbs with some herbs and spices and then oven fry for a different taste.

I use panko to bread and bake it in the oven. If you toast the panko first, it gives it a great flavor. Put about a cup of panko in a skillet with some dry sage, celery seed, and thyme. Heat on medium for 3-4 minutes until the panko starts to brown and release the herb aromas. Let it all cool then bread your fish. The recipe I use calls for a flour, egg, panko dredge first. Bake for about 15-20 minutes. Delicious!

sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake. or you can roll in a mix of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Yummy.

Make a salsa: Take some tropical fruits--any mix of mango, pineapple, guava, etc. You can buy a frozen mix. Maybe about a cup total per serving. Add a tiny bit of minced red onion. Squeeze in some lime juice, and add a bit of hot pepper (I like jalapeño but have used anything handy), and add a bit of salt and pepper. I love cilantro too, so if I have it fresh, it goes in too.

Make the fish: Toss a tablespoon of flour and a pinch each of salt, pepper and cayenne. Dust a couple of thin filets with it. Get a fry pan super hot and add a tiny bit of oil and roll it around. Cook for maybe 1.5-2 minutes each side. Serve with the salsa.

This is great itself or with rice.

i do a lemon garlic butter for white fish sometimes (yes butter is not so good, but I only use 1tsp, right at the end, to give it a glaze)

There's nothing wrong with butter as long as it fits your macros. You need fat in your diet.

bump for later.

Lay in the pan...Lay slices of lemon and shallots on top and baked in the oven. You can do this with any white fish...halibut, soul, etc.

I love white fish with pesto, then baked with some breadcrumbs on top
its lovely and really easy

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!!)

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!!!

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.
