Tilapia recipes? Anyone?
I finally found some good quality fresh fish here and I’m really excited about it. I was getting SO tired of chicken. I would’ve opted for Salmon but it looked icky. I want to make it tonight but I don’t want to use way too many ingredients. I’m going to the store in a bit to pick up what other things I need but I still don’t know of any good recipes. I’d rather bake or sautee than poach. Any ideas?

Cook Time: 18 minutes
Ingredients:
4 Tilapia fillets
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 large lemon
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray an 11-inch by 7-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, paprika and ground pepper. Lay Tilapia fillets in a single layer in the baking dish. Drizzle oil, lemon and herb mixture over the fish. Cover with foil and bake for 15-18 minutes.
Serve with steamed vegetables and whole grain couscous or rice.
Oh, I should add, this is NOT my recipe. Someone gave it to me but it is easy and low fat.
Hey, I am new to this whole buddyslim website!..however, your blog caught my eye. I LOVE Tilapia! All I ever do to prepare it is spray my glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and sprinkle a bit of pepper and lemon juice on top of the fish and then bake it at 375 degrees until the fish flakes easily with a fork. It sounds kind of boring I know…but it is pretty tasty without adding any extra fat or calories to it!
I made a sauce this last weekend to marinate and grill my shrimp with. It turned out really good and I plan to use this same sauce to baste Tilapia with later this week.
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
I plan to bake the tilapias and baste with the sauce.
Hugggggggggggggggggs,

Look up “broiled Tilapia” by recipe by Jillian Michaels. Is fast and good!
I love to bake the tilapia in the oven and put some salad dressing on it for flavor… like a yummy sesame ginger dressing. It adds a healthy, tasty flavor. hmm! I want some now too!
Thanks people!! And Hannah, I’m glad to see you’re still here! I just baked it in the oven with some seafood seasoning and a little spray butter. It was kinda fishy tasting, which surprised me because it’s fresh. I think I didn’t season it enough. Well it came with 10 filets so I’ll be able to try each recipe, I’ll keep you all updated. And thanks again!
