    This isn't really a recipe, but it was easy!

    1 tilapia fillet
    2 lemon slices
    1/2 tbsp of butter

    Put all that into a ziplock steam fresh bag and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Tah-dah! So easy and fast. The fish tastes so good by itself that you don't need to add much flavor:)

    Sorry I don't have anything more interesting! lol:)

    I like to keep it real simple and sprinkle with cayene pepper and bake until done. Then drizzle a nice balsamic vinegar over it. Mandarin/Fig balsamic vinegar is AMAZING.

    We bake ours with parsley flakes, lemon juice, a small amount of olive oil, and minced garlic. Bake at 350 for about ten minutes. I like to pull it apart and eat it in tacos.

    ANYONE?! ANYONE?!

    I actually had Tilapia tonight!!

    Preheat to 350
    I fork little holes in it and spread about a teaspoon of butter on it (melted)
    Sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning on it
    Bake it for 20 minutes (or until flaky)

    I serve it with veggies and rice. :)

    Easy and quick!

    1 tsp. Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasoning
    1 tbsp. dijon mustard
    2 (6oz.) tilapia fillets
    chopped fresh parsley

    I use a bbq style seasoning and then just spray some Pam and cook it in a skillet. Flip to cook just a smidgen more on the other side. I also add cayenne to mine for the kick. Using the skillet is way fast and makes a slight crust without the use of breading. I've learned to just find a seasoning I like because this type of fish will absorb it.

    Not really a recipe but a technique.

    I always make it the same way:

    If its frozen, run it under hot water until it's thawed. Paper towel-pat it dry.
    Coat the fish in flour, just enough to make a really thin layer around it.
    Place it on a hot pan.. I usually use olive oil so it doesn't stick.
    Season it to taste! I use: garlic salt, oregano, dill, or really whatever spices I'm in the mood for.
    Let it cook on both sides until its white all the way through.

    That's it! It's really simple and yummy ha

    Blackend seasoning, parmesan, white pepper, EVOO, About a teaspoon of evoo rub the filet down, then sprinkle seasoning, then sprinkle grated parm on it. Cook on in a preheated non-stick pan and it crusts up perfect. serve with Quinoa & Basil Pesto.

    Jamacan Jerk Grilled Tilapia (my dinner last night)

    Place thawed fillets on a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil that has been sprayed with non stick spray.
    Sprinkle fillets with garlic powder & your choice of Jamacan Jerk rub or seasoning.
    Squeeze 1/2 a lime over fillets.
    I cut the tops of a few lemon grass stalks on the top of my fillets, then loosly gathered the aluminum foil up around the fish (not closed tight)
    Grill til done... I just checked it & pulled it from the grill when it was fully cooked through - but not dry)

    Top with fresh pineapple/peach salsa (adding a dash of the same jamacan jerk seasoning to the salsa that I'd put on my fillets)

    AMAZING! I'm making it again tonight!

    I have a great Tilapia recipe that I make all the time, except I bake it instead of pan frying. It calls for creole seasoning, which you can make on your own with spices you may already have.
