LEMON-GARLIC TILAPIA WITH SPINACH

Steps:

• Pat the tilapia dry with paper towels, then season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread the flour on a plate; dredge the tilapia in the flour, tapping off the excess. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tilapia and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the skillet.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it starts browning, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, wine, and lemon zest and juice. Increase the heat to high, bring to a boil and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add the butter and whisk until slightly thickened, about 1 minute; stir in the parsley.
• Meanwhile, toss the spinach with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a few grinds of pepper. Divide among plates, top with the fish and drizzle with some pan sauce. Serve with lemon wedges.

LEMON-GARLIC GRILLED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high (450-500°F). (Alternatively, preheat a grill pan over high heat.) Zest lemon to yield 1 teaspoon. Cut the lemon in half crosswise.
• Combine butter, garlic and lemon zest in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on Medium until the butter is melted, about 90 seconds, stirring halfway through. Sprinkle tilapia with salt and pepper; brush 1 side of each fillet with about 1 teaspoon of the butter mixture.
• Oil the grill rack by soaking a paper towel in oil and holding it with tongs to rub over the rack. Place the tilapia, buttered-sides down, on the oiled rack. Brush the exposed sides of the fish evenly with the remaining butter mixture. Cook until charred on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip gently and continue grilling until the fish is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Place the lemon halves, cut-side down, on the grill rack; cook until charred, about 2 minutes. Squeeze the charred lemons over the fish, and sprinkle with parsley.

PAN-GRILLED TILAPIA WITH LEMON AND RED ONION

Steps:

• Squeeze lemon juice over tilapia; season lightly with salt and black pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt 1/2 teaspoon butter in hot oil. Add chopped onion and minced garlic; cook and stir until onion begins to look translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Push onion mixture to sides of the skillet. Melt remaining 1/2 teaspoon of butter in the skillet. Place tilapia in the center of the skillet and cover with onion mixture. Cover skillet and cook tilapia until it starts to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Push onion mixture to the sides again and flip tilapia. Cover and cook until second side is golden and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more.
• Remove skillet from heat. Top tilapia with grated Parmesan cheese, cover, and let stand until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.

GRILLED LEMON HERB TILAPIA SANDWICH

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!
