Go to Woudstra’s and purchase your Tilapia fillets. Thaw fillets before cooking.
Preheat your oven to 375. Place fillets in a lightly oiled baking dish. Pam or olive oil work great. Brush the fillets with melted butter and season to taste. You can use your favorite seasoning for fish or I like to use a sprinkle of Lawry’s seasoning and Lawry’s seasoned pepper. Bake for 8 – 12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. If you like a little more color, place the fish under the broiler for the last few minutes. You can serve with melted butter and lemon if you like.
This fish is also good grilled. You can use a piece of aluminum foil to cover the grill or use a disposable aluminum baking dish that you can find in the grocery store. Use the same recipe as above. If you want, turn the fish carefully after 3 – 4 minutes. Again, cook until fish flakes easily, but be careful not to overcook.
This is a very delicious fish with a mild flavor; so don’t overpower it with too much seasoning.
