Salmon and Tilapia

I've made this and my family really enjoyed it. The recipe is from AllRecipes.com. I only bake the tilapia for about 15 or 20 minutes because they are very thin.

Ingredients
4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
4 cloves crushed garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions
Rub the fish fillets with the crushed garlic, then place them in a shallow, non-reactive dish. Spoon the olive oil over the fish until they are coated. Place the onion on top of the fish. Cover the fish and refrigerate overnight to allow the fish to soak in the marinade.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

If baking the fish, transfer it to a 9x13 inch baking dish along with the olive oil, garlic, and onion. Sprinkle the fish with the cayenne or white pepper. If you are grilling the fish, wrap the fish and oil, garlic, onion, and pepper in aluminum foil.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees F) for 30 minutes.

My salmon recipe is very simple, Iit could be used for talapia or any firm fish. Lay your fish on a large piece of aluminum foil, sprinkle with any seasonings you like (lemon pepper, salmon seasoning, season salt, Ms. Dash). Place a small amount of margerine or butter if you you want, just so it can melt on the fish. Place a slice or two of lemon on the top. Now fold the foil around the fish, creating a "tent" so there is room to steam. I like to place mine on the grill for about 10 minutes but you could do it in the oven on a cookie sheet. Cook just long enough so the fish is firm and flaky--try not to overcook. You can squeeze some more lemon juice on it before eating if you like. This is really the only way I prepare my salmon, tastes great!

this is from prevention and one of my favorite recipes!

Take a salmon filet, leave skin on but make sure its been scaled. Take a sharp knife and make a couple slits in the fish. In food processor mix butter and fresh basil. Stuff basil butter in slits and cook over your fav veggies in oven for 20 min at like 400. Cooking time will vary based off of weight of fish.

I eat lots of salmon, I always bake it, I do not add anymore fat to it, as it already had a lot. i do add, a some lemon juice, chipotle seasoning and herb seasoning. So gooooooooood!

So many great ideas already.. I will just add that I very often nuke the salmon instead of baking/pan searing. I get 6-7oz individual portions and they take about 3mins to cook and always turn out moist and flaky. Tilapia can be done in 1.5mins some times. I put the fish in a corning glass container w/lid not all the on. When the buzzer goes off, I take it out, seal the lid and let it finish cooking/keep warm while I complete the rest of the meal.
