(Noted added 11/05/07: I like to credit original recipe sources when known, but wasn't sure about this one when I submitted the recipe. Fortunately, a reviewer pointed out that the recipe came from Cooking Light, so I searched their site--indeed, it was originally published in their September 2002 issue. Thanks to the reviewer for bringing this to my attention, and thanks to Cooking Light for developing the recipe! :) )

Tips:
- Select the freshest tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, fresh smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Prepare the marinade: The marinade for the tilapia is a key component of the dish. Make sure to use a flavorful combination of ingredients, such as coconut milk, red curry paste, lime juice, and garlic.
- Marinate the tilapia for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the fish and make it more flavorful.
- Broil the tilapia until it is cooked through: The tilapia should be cooked until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the fish, as this will make it dry and tough.
- Serve the tilapia with a variety of sides: The tilapia can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad. You can also serve it with a dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or coconut curry sauce.
Conclusion:
