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!

Categories     Fish

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Tilapia
1/2 cup arils from 1 large POM Wonderful pomegranate
4 6-oz. skinless tilapia fillets

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Tilapia: 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. 2. Score 1 fresh pomegranates and place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranates under water to free the arils (seed sacs).

Press 2 tablespoons of juice for use with potatoes and set aside. (Refrigerate or freeze remaining arils for another use.) 3. Heat add olive oil and panko in a small skillet. Cook over medium heat and stir until crumbs are lightly browned. 4. Mix browned panko together with parsley, lemon zest, salt and pepper. 5. Dip tilapia fillets in egg beaten with lemon juice and then roll into panko mixture. 6. Place fillets in a greased casserole dish and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. 7. Garnish with more chopped parsley and arils; serve with potatoes.

Top fillets with one slice of lemon and then top with butter mixture place other slices of lemon around pan. Bake fillets for 15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your dish. So, whenever possible, use fresh, local, and organic ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking tilapia, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat: Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it over medium heat. This will help prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Season the fish with herbs and spices: Tilapia has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it with herbs and spices. This will help enhance the flavor of the fish and make it more enjoyable.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Tilapia is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will help ensure that the fish is flaky and moist.
