Grilled Bacon Wrapped Tilapia Food

GRILLED BACON WRAPPED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to 400º F.
• Spray coat a grilling basket with cooking spray.
• Put the tilapia in a dish. Coat with salt and pepper.
• Brush a small amount of olive oil onto the fish.
• Take two raw pieces of bacon and wrap it around the tilapia.
• Do this with all of the pieces of tilapia.
• Put into the grilling cage.
• (I kept a plate under the basket as I prepared the fish so it wouldn't drip all over the kitchen.)
• Put grill basket with the fish onto the grill.
• Cook on one side for 5 minutes on high heat and then flip the basket to cook the other side.
• Cook until the fish is flaky and white. Bacon may need a few extra minutes, and that is okay.
• Serve warm with parsley sprinkled on top.

GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED TILAPIA & FRESH FRUIT SALSA #RSC

Steps:

• For the Salsa: Find the butt of the peach and slice the peach all the way around the pit. Twist to release the flesh from the pit, and remove the pit from the other half of the flesh by prying it loose with a spoon. Do this with the other peach and set aside.
• Mince the onion and the red bell pepper and pour them in a medium sized bowl. Chop the peach halves into bite sized pieces and pour in with the onion and pepper. Squeeze the juice from one of the lime halves over the peaches, onion, and peppers, followed by the honey, and season to taste with the salt and pepper. Mince the cilantro and add to taste. Mix thoroughly, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes, at least.
• For the Tilapia Fillets: Ready the grill with enough charcoal to burn around 375 to 425 degrees for at least 30 - 45 minutes. Accumulate charcoal to be sure that the heat is concentrated mostly in the middle.
• Wrap the tilapia fillets in two slices of bacon a peice, drizzle with lime juice from the other half the sliced lime, to taste. Season to taste with pepper and garlic powder. Place the tilapia fillets onto a sheet of Reynolds Wrap Alluminum Foil. Fold the wrap in half, longway, fold one side over the other to create a seal. Turn and fold the open sides to create two more seals.
• Place indirect from the heat on the charcoal grill, seal side up and grill until the fish fillets are flakey and the bacon is thoroughly cooked, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat and let set a moment before opening.
• Top the fillets with fresh peach salsa and close the wrap to warm the salsa through but not to cook. Serve in the alluminum foil on a large plate with grilled sliced seasoned tomatoes and a grilled flour tortilla. Garnish with more peach salsa and a sprig of cilantro.
