GRILLED TILAPIA WITH PEACH BBQ SAUCE BY PAULA DEEN
There are many Paula Deen fans on Recipezaar. This is her recipe that was on foodnetwork.com. The recipe makes alot of BBQ sauce. Way more than you'll need unless you plan to drench the fish in the sauce. I cut the sauce recipe down to 1/4th of the printed amounts and still came up with close to 1 cup of sauce, which gave me alot of leftover sauce. Season the fillet in step 3 using recipe #57340 The recipe calls for 1 lime, juiced but the instructions never mention it. Since it is the last ingredient on the list, I am assuming that the lime juice is sprinkled on the finished fish fillet. I think the BBQ sauce benefits from being made at least earlier in the day or maybe even the day before. I didn't particularly care for the flavor of the sauce when I finished making it but after it had set all day and was put on the fish, it was good.

GRILLED PEACHES & TILAPIA #RSC
Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. I love this recipe because it highlights all of the ingredients present. It also uses a summer seasonal ingredient in a very unique way. When peaches are grilled they bring a delicious sweetness which pairs wonderfully with the Tilapia. The rosemary adds a nice punch of earthiness and spiciness to the dish without being too overwhelming. It is a perfect compliment to the fish and the peaches.

Tips:
- Choose the right tilapia: Opt for fresh, firm tilapia fillets with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have an off odor.
- Prepare the tilapia: Pat the fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the marinade adhere better and prevent the fish from sticking to the grill.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is key to infusing the tilapia with delicious flavors. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices to create a flavorful mixture. Let the tilapia marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Grill the tilapia over medium heat: Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. Cook the tilapia fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and flaky. Avoid overcooking, as this will make the fish dry.
- Make the peach BBQ sauce: While the tilapia is grilling, prepare the peach BBQ sauce. Combine peaches, onion, garlic, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and spices in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Season to taste.
- Serve the tilapia with peach BBQ sauce: Brush the grilled tilapia fillets with the peach BBQ sauce and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.
Conclusion:
Grilled tilapia with peach BBQ sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for summer gatherings. The tilapia is tender and flaky, while the peach BBQ sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
