Tips:
- Choose the right tilapia fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a light pink color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a lot of dark spots.
- Season the tilapia fillets well. Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well to bring out its flavor. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Cook the tilapia fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from drying out. If you cook the fish over high heat, it will be more likely to burn.
- Cook the tilapia fillets until they are opaque and flaky. This is the best way to tell if the fish is cooked through. If you cut into the fish and it's still translucent, it needs to cook for a few more minutes.
- Serve the tilapia fillets immediately. Tilapia is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you let it sit for too long, it will start to dry out.
Conclusion:
Italian style tilapia fillets are a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. This recipe is a great way to enjoy tilapia, and it's sure to become a favorite in your household.
