Tips:

  • Choose fresh tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Marinate the tilapia: Marinating the tilapia in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices helps to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during grilling.
  • Grill the tilapia over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill and will allow it to cook evenly.
  • Baste the tilapia with the marinade: Basting the fish with the marinade while it is grilling helps to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately: Grilled tilapia is best served hot off the grill, with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkling of fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

Grilled tilapia with smoked paprika is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to prepare. The fish is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices, then grilled to perfection. The smoked paprika adds a smoky, slightly spicy flavor to the fish that is sure to please everyone. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
