GRILLED LEMON HERB TILAPIA SANDWICH

Tender tilapia dressed in lemon, butter, parsley, lemon pepper, salt and a dash of pepper grilled to perfection centered between a slice of tomato, onion and a bun!

Provided by GoodCook8900

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 14m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tilapia fillets
3 buns
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, softened
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon parsley
1 dash pepper
3 slices lemons
2 teaspoons lemon juice
tomatoes
onion
lettuce

Steps:

  • DO NOT DEFROST TILAPIA. Place the fillets in a large pan or plate and brush with butter on both sides. Add garlic powder, salt, lemon pepper, parsley, and pepper on both sides, as well. For tougher fish, use less butter(may slightly compromise flavor).
  • Place a slice of lemon on each fillet and pour lemon juice on fillets.
  • Wrap all fillets in foil and grill 7-12 minutes depending on heat levels of your grill. I recommend using a George Foreman grill for best results.
  • Slice fillets in half approximately 4-5 minutes while grilling to ensure that they cook thoroughly.
  • Place fillets on slightly toasted bun and add tomatoes, onions, lettuce and mayonnaise or tarter sauce. Enjoy!

GARLIC PARMESAN ENCRUSTED TILAPIA



Garlic Parmesan Encrusted Tilapia image

I recently came up with this recipe for our Memorial Day weekend barbecue since we were sick of the same old stuff. It went over extremely well and everyone that was there has demanded the recipe. It's good cooked in the oven, but much better grilled!

Provided by Chef Acosta

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 30m

Yield 8 half filets, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tilapia fillets, whole
1 cup fresh parmesan cheese, fresh and grated (sometimes I used an Italian 5-cheese blend instead, which includes parmesan)
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons fresh parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill or oven to 350°F and spray the baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Divide the filets into two parts, then rinse with water and pat dry.
  • Combine the parmesan cheese, garlic, paprika, parsley, salt, pepper on a large plate.
  • On another plate, pour the olive oil.
  • Dip the filets in the olive oil, then in the parmesan mixture.
  • Optional: let the flavors combine for about 4 hours. If you're taking it to a picnic, just put inside a ziplock bag.
  • Place on a baking sheet. For the barbecue, I use non-stick aluminum foil (Reynolds brand works great).
  • Bake/grill for about 20 minutes or until opaque in the middle and crispy on the edges. Do not overcook. The fish should be very moist with a crisp bottom and edges. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right tilapia fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, sweet flavor.
  • Prepare the marinade. The marinade helps to infuse the tilapia with flavor and keep it moist during grilling. Be sure to let the tilapia marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the tilapia over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill and will cook it evenly. Cook the tilapia for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately. Grilled tilapia is best served hot off the grill. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Grilled lemon parmesan tilapia is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The tilapia is marinated in a flavorful mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, then grilled to perfection. The fish is tender and flaky, with a crispy parmesan crust. Serve the tilapia with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or rice. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table!
