    Yep! Get Mccormicks grill mates....all of them are delicous. Sprinkle on your salmon and then spray a frying pan with butter flavored pam. Pan fry to desired doness. I like mine well done. Tilapia is amazing almost anyway you cook it. I like to sprinkle mine with cajun seasoning and either toss it on the George Foreman, or in the oven, or pan fry it...then make a side of brown rice or quinoa with okra and tomatoes. Feeds my cajun roots!

    I cook tilapia all the time! I just use a marinade and cover the bottom of the baking dish, place the tilapia on top of it, then season with ms dash and pepper. Bake for about 20 mins. The marinade helps to keep the fish really moist!

    I love talapia simply baked with lemon juice ....delicious and I don't think it needs alot on it

    Salmon I prefer with some type of mustard(preferably spicey for me) sauce on top

    no specific recipes...I really just wing it when I cook anything...but maybe that'll give you an idea

    I pan sear my Talipia with only salt and cracked pepper. I have a 'tarter' sauce made of low-fat Mircale Whip and sweet relish.

    I will sear either in a little EVOO then I sprinkle with dill as it cooks. I then mix a little lemon juice and dill with some light mayo and eat the fish dipped in Mayo. Very good!

    2 filets of either.

    I pan fry in a 1/2 tbls of olive oil and sear on both sides. Then I take 1 tbls. of Barbeque sauce mix in 1 tsp. of smuckers low sugar jelly. Brush one side turn it over for 10-15 seconds and do the same on the other. It's great.

    Also mix 1 tbls. low fat mayo with 1 tsp. low fat sour cream and 1 tsp. mustard.
    Brush fish with mixture and sprinkle with 2 tbls. of breadcrumbs. Bake 350, time depends on how thick the fish is.

    Tilapia - I like to cook mine with julienned veggies and lots of garlic, with a little white wine sauce, salt and pepper.

    Salmon - I find that I like it best when I bake it with some veggies in an aliminum pocket. You can use wax paper too.

    Love this topic. I could definitely use some more fish in my life.

    Check out cookinglight.com. They have a great recipe database. This is one they had in last month's issue: Blackened Tilapia Baja Tacos: http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=50400000110429

    My friend cooked me this weight watchers recipe the other day, and served it with brocoli and new potatos, it was lovely... Sorry I don't know the calorie value though, just the weight watchers points! shouldn't be too hard to work out!

    Tilapia- parchment paper pouches: just take a few peppers of your choice (I like red and green) a little onion (I like red), carrots, any veggie really, throw in a few grape tomatoes and a few sllices of citrus (I like lime or lemon) fold the packet up and bake it for about 12 minutes at 425. Serve with rice. :)

    Salmon- Cedar grilled. Get some cedar planks. Soak them all day so they don't burn. A bit of salt and pepper on the salmon, salmon on the board, board on the grill and let it grill until done. serve with cous cous, rice, or quinoa. YUMMY!

    I also like to make a compound butter and since I don't use oil on the fish, I feel okay about a pad of flavored butter. (chives, lime zest, garlic all blended in unslated butter. )

    You can cook tilapia almost anyway you can cook halibut or cod also. They are all gentle white fish. So if you search cookinglight and find a good halibut recipe, you can sub tilapia with just a little shorter cooking time.

    I did find out that you can't quite season cod the same way you season Salmon. The sweeter seasonings (like maple) overwhelm cod. But There is a great copy cat recipe of Luby's Almadine Fish for haddock but I use cod with it and its just as good!

    LUBY'S CAFETERIA BAKED HADDOCK ALMONDINE

    1 cup fine, dry bread crumbs
    1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds
    2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
    2 (6- to 7-ounce) haddock, cod or other fish fillets
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    2/3 cup mayonnaise
    Water

    Heat oven to 350 degrees.

    In small bowl, combine crumbs, almonds and butter. Mix well. If necessary, add additional melted butter, mixing well, just until crumbs hold together. Coat fish with flour; shake off excess. Place skin side down in baking pan large enough to hold in a single layer.

    Spread mayonnaise evenly over fish. Sprinkle evenly with crumb mixture, lightly pressing into fish. Carefully pour water around fish to 1/8-inch depth. (Take care and pour the thinnest layer of water possible around the fish so you don't wet the topping. This helps fish cook up moist and tender.)

    Bake 20 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with fork.

    Yield: 2 servings.

    Note: To toast almonds, spread them on a cookie sheet and toast at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Watch carefully so they don't burn. Any favorite fish fillet may be used.

    I'm making a tilapia soup this afternoon with tilapia, crushed tomatoes, olive oil, basil, salt/pepper, sliced onion, and parsley.
