  • Choose Fresh Tilapia: Look for tilapia fillets that are firm and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your tilapia with plenty of herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish and make it more enjoyable to eat.
  • Use Good Quality Olive Oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. Make sure you use a good quality extra virgin olive oil to get the best flavor.
  • Cook the Tilapia Over Medium Heat: Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve Immediately: Tilapia is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that the fish is flaky and moist.
