Provided by GoodCook8900

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

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!

  • Cook the tilapia fillets until they are cooked through. The flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Serve the tilapia fillets immediately. You can serve them with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
