Tilapia recipes?!
Answers: i bought frozen tilapia and would like to make a yummy dish for my family, but don't have any fun recipes. Do you have any? My husband doesn't like things that "taste too fishy" so it kind of needs to mute the flavor of the fish by bringing in a wide variety of elements.
Get bread crumbs and parmesan cheese(grated) add some italian spice or just basil and thyme.
Rub you filets with mayo or olive oil (mayo has better flavor for this.)
Bake it and it comes out like fried sort of, but healthy and much more taste
if you like add some heat with red pepper to crumb mixture
This is very mild. Tilapia is not that fishy tasting.
Wet the fish in melted butter.
Coat with soft bread crumbs.
Bake on a cookie sheet until tender - not long - turn over half way maybe 8-10 minutes each side at around 350 degrees.
Serve with tartar sauce - homemade if you have it.
You know this very nice fish - if hubbie doesnt like it rather than disguising it with all sorts of stuff have him just eat the other stuff (like spaghetti or whatever) and you enjoy the nice delicate flavour of this fish.
i just made this tilapia dish last week that my husband liked a lot:
