Tips

  • Choose the right tilapia. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild fishy smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Season the tilapia well. Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well before cooking. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the tilapia until it is cooked through. Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it until it is cooked through but not overcooked. The best way to tell if tilapia is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fish flakes easily, it is cooked through.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately. Tilapia is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as rice, vegetables, or potatoes.
