Tropical Tilapia Recipes

Steps:

• Spray baking dish with cooking spray. Place two fillets in dish, and sprinkle with lemon juice and Old Bay.
• Top with crumbled bleu cheese. Place the other two fillets on top.
• Sprinkle with Parsley flakes and a little more Old Bay. Bake for 15 minutes at 375.
• Remove from oven and top with coconut. Broil for 2 minutes, but watch so that the coconut doesn't burn!

Steps:

• Put the tilapia in a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the fish and mix gently to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until the fish is white throughout, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the refrigerator and drain off the lime juice, gently squeezing the fish with your hands. Discard the lime juice. Add the tomato, cucumber, onion, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the clam-tomato juice and the hot sauce and chile, if using.
• Spread the tostadas generously with mayonnaise and top with the ceviche. Arrange the avocado slices on top of the ceviche and serve immediately with the lime wedges alongside.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
• Put the tortillas on the grill or grill pan, and let them dry out until they are crunchy. Purchased tostadas can be substituted.

Steps:

• Pour 1 1/2 cups orange juice into a resealable plastic bag. Add tilapia fillets, coat with the juice, squeeze bag to remove excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 3 hours to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk butter, panko bread crumbs, 3 tablespoons orange juice, garlic, and basil together in a bowl.
• Remove tilapia from the orange juice and shake to remove excess liquid; arrange fillets in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Discard marinade.
• Pour 1/2 cup orange juice over the tilapia fillets. Spread butter mixture over the top of the filets to cover each completely.
• Bake in preheated oven until the liquid is bubbling and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Marinade the tilapia in the extra virgin olive oil, with the lemon fresh squeezed and the dash of fresh ground pepper for approximately one hour. In the meantime, combine kiwi, pineapple, cucumber and cilantro in a large bowl. Next, combine the white vinegar, olive oil, warm water and sugar and wisk until sugar is dissolved. Pour the dressing over the salsa and let sit for at least 45 minutes. Prepare the broiler in the oven and lay the tilapia filet across a lightly oiled pan or tray lined with tin foil. Broil approximately 4-5 minutes on each side depending on how thick the filets are. Do not cook until browned. Fish is done as soon as it turns white on each side. Transfer the filets to each plate or to large dish if for a group. With a slotted spoon, add a generous amount of the salsa over each fish, draining the dressing through the spoon.

Steps:

• Combine ginger, honey, tamarind paste, and vinegar in a small pot and bring to a simmer. Add salt and pepper for seasoning. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until contents of pot have thickened - stirring occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 475. Line small baking tray with aluminium foil. Pat dry tilapia fillets. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place seasoned fillets on aluminum foil. Using a spoon, glaze the fish with the tamarind sauce. Roast for 8 to 10 minutes - then place under the broiler on HI for 3 minutes. After cooked garnish with dill and squeeze lime on top.
• Place Saute pan over medium to high heat for two minutes until pan is hot. Add couscous and cook until golden brown. Add coconut milk, water, pinch of thyme, smidgen of rosemary, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat. Cook until most of the coconut milk has been absorbed. Plate and serve immediately.
• Lay the pineapple on its side. With a large sharp nice cut evenly through, including the head. Leaving a 1/2 inch rim, carve out the inside of the pineapple - creating two natural bowls. When couscous is finished cooking, spoon into pineapple - collecting excess cocounut milk as you go. Place fish on top and garnish. Enjoy!
