    I don't have any "recipes" per say but I eat it plain usually, or with half a tsp of olive oil and garlic powder on it. Also surprisingly delish with some spaghetti sauce on it, 1/4 of a cup is usually plenty. =) I'm a college student .. I eat healthy but boring lol

    I dump a can of no salt added diced tomatoes with basil and garlic, a can of artichoke hearts and a tsp of capers per filet (I use about 3 filets at a time) and bake!!!

    It's so good! You can also put a little goat cheese or feta on top at the end if you want for a few minutes.

    I coat my tilapia filets in pan-searing flour from Wegmans; sautee in a bit of olive oil; then top with capers, lemon juice, and a drizzle of butter. Delicious!

    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.

    This^! Add a tortilla, and make a fish taco! YUM!

    I like to make deviled fish - I've done this primarily with cod and haddock, but I'm sure it would work with tilapia as well. These ingredient amounts are just estimates and by no means set in stone, so feel free to tweak according to your own tastes. It takes about 5 minutes to throw together, and is one of my go-to weeknight meals.

    1/4 cup bread crumbs
    1 small onion, minced
    1 tsp curry paste
    1 tsp worchestershire sauce
    1 tsp prepared mustard
    salt & pepper to taste
    2 tbsp butter

    Melt butter. Combine butter with remaining ingredients. Place fish in lightly greased baking dish and top with bread crumb mixture. Bake at 375 until done (varies with size of fillets, usually between 12 and 20 minutes)

    I am sorry I am a little late to this party, but we have a decent recipe that our kids love

    slice and steam zucchini in microwave
    slice tomatoes thinly
    take tilapia and salt/pepper both sides
    Spray a pan and place fish in pan
    Cover with zucchini, tomatoes, salt/pepper, Italian spices, Motzarella cheese (2% milk if possible)

    Sometimes I layer the zucchini/tomatoes with the cheese a bit more (like lasagna), but this will work as well. Just be sure to salt/pepper and spice the veggies and the fish. Bake at 400 until done (about 15-20 minutes).

    Our go-to Tilapia recipe.

    chili rubbed tilapia-
    4 tilapia filets
    1 1/2 tbsp. chili powder
    1/2 tbsp. old bay seasoning
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    2 tbsp extra light olive oil

    combine spices in a bowl. sprinkle and rub all over the filets and set on a piece of parchment paper or a plate. meanwhile, heat olive oil in a medium skillet to medium-medium high.
    Add filets and fry about 3-4 minutes per side only turning once. Check that fish flakes easily with a fork and youre done.


    I got this recipe from eating well at http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/chili_rubbed_tilapia_with_asparagus_lemon.html
    but I tweaked it a little. The web page has the nutrition content BUT it includes asparagus and lemon juice which probably shaves off some of the calories.
