Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to score the tilapia fillets, as this will help the marinade penetrate the fish and result in a more flavorful dish.
  • Don't overcook the tilapia, as it is a delicate fish and can easily become dry. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the tilapia in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to grease the skillet with cooking spray or oil to prevent the fish from sticking.
  • Serve the tilapia with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
