Tips:
- Choose the right tilapia: Look for firm, plump fillets that are free of any discoloration or odor.
- Keep it simple: Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it doesn't need a lot of seasoning. A simple marinade or rub will do the trick.
- Cook it gently: Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently over medium heat. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: Make sure to leave enough space between the tilapia fillets so that they can cook evenly.
- Use a fish spatula: A fish spatula will help you flip the tilapia without breaking it.
- Cook until flaky: Tilapia is done cooking when it flakes easily with a fork.
