Categories     Tilapia

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup lemon pepper seasoning
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons firmly packed light brown sugar or 1 1/2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
4 tilapia fillets, about 6 ounces each
olive oil
kosher salt or sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (1 stick)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Prepare a hot fire in a grill. Oil the grate and a perforated grill rack.
  • To make the rub, combine all the ingredients in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Secure the lid and shake to blend.
  • Brush or spray the fillets on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle each fillet with about 1 teaspoon of the rub. (Save the rest for later use; it will keep in the cupboard for several months.)
  • Place the fish, flesh side down, on the oiled perforated grill rack and grill for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, turning once halfway through. A fish fillet is done when it begins to flake when tested with a fork in the thickest part.

Categories     Entree

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
2 tilapia fillets, rinsed
Salt and pepper, if desired
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. In medium bowl, stir together tomatoes, artichoke hearts and olives; set aside.
  • Cut 2 (18-inch-long) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Place 1 tilapia fillet in center of each sheet. Spoon tomato mixture evenly over tilapia. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
  • Place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.
  • Open packets carefully. Sprinkle salt and pepper over top; serve with lemon wedges.

Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 Serving

Tips:

  • Choose fresh tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe helps to infuse the tilapia with flavor and keep it moist during cooking. You can experiment with different marinades to find one that you like.
  • Cook the tilapia until it is cooked through: The tilapia is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork. Overcooking will make the tilapia dry and tough.
  • Serve the tilapia with your favorite sides: This recipe pairs well with roasted vegetables, rice, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Broiled lemon pepper tilapia is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The tilapia is marinated in a mixture of lemon juice, pepper, and olive oil, then broiled until cooked through. The result is a flaky, moist fish that is perfect for serving with your favorite sides. This recipe is also a great way to get your kids to eat fish, as the lemon pepper marinade helps to mask the fishy taste.
