SPICY TILAPIA WITH MUSHROOMS AND ZUCCHINI
I wanted to add more fish to my diet so one day I bought fresh Tilapia and looked online for an easy recipe to cook that evening because I never buy fresh fish and didn't know the first thing how to cook it. I found a recipe similar but I added my own special touch to it and pretty much changed the original. My husband and I loved it. Here's my version!

Steps:
- Instructions.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Stir-fry onion, garlic clove and pepper until crisp-tender, then add zucchini and continue to cook for a short time. Finally add mushrooms. Push veggies off to the side. Sprinkle one side of Tilapia with Cajun seasoning. Add to skillet. Cook about three minutes and turn.
- Cut lime in half and squeeze lime juice on tilapia from one half of the lime. Use the other half for serving if you like to squeeze it fresh on your fish. Sprinkle cayenne pepper according to taste. Then cover and continue to cook until fish is done, about another three minutes. Serve.
- Pan may dry after sautéing veggies, so I spray some olive oil spray before I place tilapia in pan to keep it from sticking. I also like to add a sprinkle of Marjoram on fish.
- I like to serve it with Steamed Jasmine Rice.

I love quick and bright meals like this one-skillet wonder. The way it tastes, you'd think it takes a lot more effort, but it goes from prep to dinner table in half an hour. The recipe works well with any light fish, or even shrimp. -Tammy Brownlow, Dallas, Texas

SPICY GRILLED TILAPIA W/ CREAMY GRITS OR RICE AND MUSHROOM SAUCE
An easy and tasty recipe from Food Network. In order to make it more low calorie, I replaced butter/oil w. cooking spray, and heavy cream with fat free milk with a 1/2 tsp of flour. Grits I replaced with brown rice. It looks great on the plate, tastes fantastic, and is very low calorie and healthy. Instead of a regular grill, I broiled the fish and vegetables in oven spraying them first with cooking spray so that they would not get dry (used same timings as given in the recipe for grilling).

SPICY BAKED TILAPIA AND TOMATOES
This is a recipe that my wife created and I simply LOVE! This has become one of our two top favorite fish recipes ever. It is a little spicy, and that can be adjusted as desired. But this one is never fishy, and is a nice blend of seafood and Mexican-style food. We always make this with frozen or fresh tilapia, but you could substitute any light, thin white fish fillet.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh tilapia fillets. If frozen, thaw them completely before cooking.
- To get a crispy skin on the tilapia, pat the fillets dry before cooking. You can also score the skin with a sharp knife to help it crisp up.
- Be careful not to overcook the tilapia. It should be cooked through but still flaky. The best way to check is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If it flakes easily, it's done.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in this recipe. Some other good options include broccoli, bell peppers, or asparagus.
- Serve the tilapia with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted potatoes, or a salad.
