Tips:

  • Choose fresh tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm, plump, and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are discolored or have an off odor.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings to create a flavor profile that you enjoy. Some popular options include lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Don't overcrowd the foil packets: Make sure there is enough room for the tilapia fillets to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the packets, the fish will not cook properly.
  • Seal the foil packets tightly: This will help to keep the moisture in and prevent the fish from drying out.
  • Cook the tilapia fillets until they are cooked through: The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. The internal temperature of the fish should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
