SPICY GRILLED TILAPIA W/ CREAMY GRITS OR RICE AND MUSHROOM SAUCE



Spicy Grilled Tilapia W/ Creamy Grits or Rice and Mushroom Sauce image

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 TILAPIA WITH MUSHROOMS AND ZUCCHINI



Spicy Tilapia With Mushrooms and Zucchini image

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!

Provided by Ginivee

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup green bell pepper, thin slices
1 medium zucchini, thin slices
4 ounces fresh large mushrooms, thin slices
2 -6 ounces tilapia fillets
cajun seasoning
powdered cayenne pepper
1 lime, cut in half
olive oil flavored cooking spray (optional)
marjoram (optional)

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a strong, fishy smell.
  • Use fresh mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms will have a more intense flavor and texture than canned or dried mushrooms. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can substitute canned or dried mushrooms, but be sure to soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Don't overcook the tilapia: Tilapia is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it dry and tough. Cook the tilapia for just 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the tilapia in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and olive oil will help to enhance its flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and rosemary, or you can try a more complex marinade made with white wine, Dijon mustard, and fresh herbs.
  • Serve the tilapia with a variety of sides: Tilapia is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular side dishes for tilapia include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, rice, and salad.

Conclusion:

Zesty tilapia with mushrooms is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your tilapia is cooked perfectly and that it is full of flavor.
