Making Tilapia tonight for the fam and am looking for good recipes.

I'm thinking something baked, possibly sweet.

Thanks in advance!
 
The one I did was blackened and it was great... sure stunk up the house tho!!! Here is the recipe if you should choose a different direction.
 
It's good, it cooks very quickly, and it smokes!!!!! Plenty of ventilation or cook outside if you can. But it was one of the best home cooked Tilapia recipes I have ever had!
 
A really really good way to cook them is to liberally shake on some
Cajun seasoning and some McCormick Citrus seasoning, then
spray on olive oil. Let sit for a while, then bake at 375 for around 10 minutes.

Alternatively, you can mix the seasonings with the oil, and use as a marinade...
It is also really good on veggies, which you can cook with the fish.

Serve on some wild rice or jasmine rice or basmati herbed rice.... yum!
 
Asian Style Fish Curry

Ingredients:
6 Fish fillets

1 bunch scallions, minced
1 cup coconut milk
juice of 1 lime

2 Tbsp curry powder (Red if available, but yellow will suffice)
2 Tbsp Splenda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp Patis or 1 tsp Nuoc Mam fish sauce (Nuoc Mam is stronger than Patis

4 jalapenos (or other chili peppers), minced
1/2 onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp bagaong (shrimp or fish paste)

1 Tbs Canola oil
1 Tbs peanut oil


Preparation:
Marinate the fish fillets in 1/2 cup coconut milk, scallions, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 2 tablespoons Splenda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon fish sauce for 15 to 30 minutes.


In a food processor or blender, make a paste with the jalapenos, onion, garlic, 1/2 the lime juice, and the fish paste while the fish is marinating.

In a frying pan, heat one or two tablespoons oil, and cook the paste until softened and heated through. Add the marinated fish and cook 2 minutes on each side. Add 1/2 cup coconut milk, and the rest of the lime juice, bring to a boil, then simmer until sauce is the desired thickness. Remove fish to serving platter, put sauce in a bowl or gravy boat.

Serve with steamed brown rice and stir-fried green beans, sliced Japanese eggplant, and sliced carrots.
