Tilapia Al Ajillo Garlic Tilapia Recipes

Steps:

• Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Put fillets in first, and when they start to turn color a bit (after 1-2 minutes) add garlic slices.
• Continue cooking about 4 minutes or so, then flip fillets.
• Fry until cooked through, and fish flakes easily with a fork-- this will depend entirely on the thickness of your fillets, so you will need to watch them carefully.
• The garlic should turn a dark golden brown, but not be burned, if you notice that the garlic is starting to burn, spoon it over the fish, so it is no longer in contact with the pan.
• Serve with freshly squeezed lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Mix olive oil, lemon pepper, cumin, paprika, dried mustard, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Brush each tilapia fillet with mixture using a pastry brush. Flip; brush the other side. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Spray a large piece of foil with cooking spray and place on the grill. Transfer tilapia onto the foil.
• Cook fillets on the preheated grill until they're easily flaked with a fork, about 5 minutes per side. Serve.
