    I mix one packet of splenda w/some dijon mustard. Spread it on top of the fish, top that w/some lemon juice and capers. Wrap it up in foil and bake! It's yummy!

    Ooh, I love this thread! I am not a big fan of fish, but I have heard that tilapia is a good option that has a milder flavor. I tried making it once, and it was terrible. I just seasoned it and baked it, but it was NOT good. We ended up throwing it out and ordering pizza. I'd love some better recipes for it, so I can give it a 2nd try.:smile:

    I fold it in tin-foil and George Foreman the heck out of it. =) Then I usually add some Mrs. Dash and some True Lemon (crystallized lemon because I never have real lemon in my house) and maybe a little Bragg Liquid Aminos. It's pretty good that way and practically no fat. =)

    But the other ways sound delicious too!! I'm going to have to try some of them!! =)

    Lyndi4 - If you do it on the George Foreman grill like I do, it hardly has any fish flavor at all. My sister and Mom hate fish with a passion but actually like it when it's cooked on the GF Grill. You should try it that way. =)

    Wrap it in some tin foil with lemon juice (real lemon juice) and some pepper and steam it in the oven for 10-15 min. So yummy and tender.

    This sounds great. I like to keep it simple and this is simple and delicious.

    Tilapia is the main ingredient for the traditional Peruvian (not imitations) Ceviche...., be careful, a little spicy.

    I put it on a microwave safe dish, squeeze lemon juice, put on a pat of butter, cover with wax paper, and nuke it on high until it is flakey. I put lemon pepper on it at the table.

    I bake it in the toaster oven. I put a light coating of olive oil on it and then i mix old bay seasoning, nature's seasoning (it is a mixture of like garlic, onion, black pepper, and etc), and parmesan cheese. I do about 1/2-1 tsp of each. I coat the top of the fish with this and then bake it. It always tastes wonderful. :)
