    One of my favorite recipes for it is to squeeze lime over it and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Cook over med heat- about 5 mins or so on each side. For a garnish mix avocado, tomato, red onion and a little lime juice.

    I love Tilapia for fish tacos! Corn or low carb tortillas, low fat shredded mozzerella, black beans (optional), avacado, tomatoes, shredded cabbage with salsa and maybe a little greek yogurt...awesome.

    Dip the tilapia in egg whites, then dip them in wasa cracker crumbs. Spray a pan with pam and cook! Top it with salsa if you like :) I'm not a fish person either, but I love this recipe.

    I season mine with cajun or blackened seasoning and broil for 8-10 minutes (I actually like mine drier and more done, so I go 12 in)

    and then I make a sauce with non fat greek yogurt, a TB of dijon mustard, a couple TB of fresh chives, a tsp of lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. YUMMMMM

    1:Sprinkle on Parika, and Lemon Juice, with a bit of cajun seasoning. Bake on 375 for 30 minutes.
    2:Brush with olive oil and add garlic and onion on top.
    3: Brush with Bar-B-Q
    4: Cook in any of the above ways - add fish inside a low carb wrap - add raw fresh spinach and sauce below - nice fish taco!

    For a nice sauce - 1/2 cup plain lowfat yougurt, 1 cucumber chopped including juice, a little greek seasoning a bit of dry dill weed - and you have a nice healthy low cal - low sodium sauce to dip the fish in.

    My favorite tilapia recipe: Lemon garlic tilapia

    Ingredients:
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    2 cloves garlic
    dill
    lemon juice
    reduced fat mayo

    Chop up the garlic, keep 1/3 separate. Warm up your pan with the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, some of the dill, some of the lemon juice (I don't measure, I just wing it). I fry my filets for 4 minutes each side. For a nice sauce I use the remaining garlic, some dill, some lemon juice and some of the fat-free mayo and mix until it's creamy. It gives it a nice tang to the fish.

    I use spray butter and lemon pepper seasoning. You can either but it in a foil pouch and grill it or bake it.

    I put about half of a tbspn of olive oil in a pan, and heat. Meanwhile, I sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, italian seasoning mix and occasionally a little parmesean cheese, on both sides. Then I cook it in the olive oil, a few mins on each side. It's just enough oil to give it a crisp, but not enough to mess with the calories too much. I like to have asparagus (cooked the same way minus the italian seasoning and parm) or green beans (also cooked the same minus parm and italian seasoning) as a side. It's super delish! I make it often, and even my husband, who isn't a fish person, likes it! So easy too, ready in less than 15 mins!
