Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (6 ounce) fresh Tilapia
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest tilapia you can find. Fresh tilapia will have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a firm, white flesh. Avoid tilapia that is discolored or has an off odor.
  • Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the tilapia. Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it can easily be overpowered by strong flavors. Try using a combination of herbs, spices, and citrus fruits to create a flavorful marinade or sauce.
  • Don't overcook the tilapia. Tilapia is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it dry and tough. Cook the tilapia until it is just opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the tilapia with a variety of sides. Tilapia is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides. Try serving it with roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh salad.
