Would you marinate tilapia overnight?!
Answers: i made up my own concoction of marinade it includes, beaten eggs, olive oil, lemon juice, pepper, salt and a dash of white vinegar. would you let this marinate overnight or would the flavor be too strong?
Give esmeralda the BA she got it right. Because of the beaten eggs your recipe is dangerous for overnight use .From a culinary perspective, your recipe makes liitle if any sense
Talapia is a simple fish , cook it simply and use something simple like a lemon beurre blanc to sauce it
It will be fine... eggs are not the greatest to use in a marinade as it keeps some of the flavor out. However, as long as you do this in the fridge it will be okay.
Tilapia is a very mild fish and a strong marinade will be very powerful. I would marinate for maybe 20 minutes before cooking.
Tilapia takes on a lot of flavor. I'm no wimp. Go for it. Problem is, your marinade sounds kind of bad.
I have marinated tilapia hours before cooking in olive oil, lemon, and garlic. I wouldn't do it overnight.
that's great, it'll give it more flavor...but i wouldn't add the eggs to it.
The problem with marinating it this long is the citric acid in the lemon is going to cure, or cook, the fish. (it's how ceviche is made)....by the time you take it out tomorrow, your fish is already going to be "cooked". You don't want to marinade it for more than 30 minutes - an hour at the very most, if you are using acids such as citric juice or vinegar.
I really can't say, have you tried it? I would worry about the beaten eggs. You can easily place Talapia in foil paper with lemon juice, olive oil 1 tsp, salt,pepper, onions, bell pepper, slices of tomatoes, and 1 cup (1 min. rice) underneath the Talapia). On top of Talapia 1/2 Southwest dressing. Place in oven for 15-20 minutes. Its the best!
The marinade look cool
tilapia will fall apart easily so overnight would be a disaster
What I would do is rub the tilapia with the dry ingredients and let that sit overnight and then add the wet ingredients 30 minutes before cooking
