Tilapia 16oz $2.99 Saturday!!

[Thrifty Bee]

I'm thinking that's a cool price and I think I'll get me a bag.

How about everyone share their favorite ways to fix Tilapia. I was thinking grilled on my George Foreman grill with maybe a little lemon juice. Does anyone fix it that way?

[OneHotMomma]

We grill it on the Foreman with salt and pepper and it's always yummy!

Jeez I never thought of using my Foreman LOL. I usually dip it in egg then in panko breadcrumbs and fry it! Yummm

[TBEventer2002]

I mix up some corn, diced garlic, fire roasted diced tomatoes, salt, pepper, and dill. I spoon that over each fillet on some foil. I then fold it up and toss them in the crock pot for a couple of hours and they come out sooooo juicy and flavorful!

Marinade in Italian, ceasar, or greek dressing, then grill or bake. Different tastes depending on the dressing and cooking style.

I posted this on another thread...so I copied and pasted (then added a few more ideas!):

I eat tilapia at least twice a week...usually more. I make it so many different ways! My husband calls it my "hamburger" since I can do so many things with it.

I've never really fried it, but I don't fry much anyway. Some of the ways I cook it...off the top of my head are:
BAKED:
*Breaded in flour/egg whites/corn flake crumbs.
*Dipped in mayo and breaded in Shake 'n Bake.
*Sprinkled with a little olive oil, and seasoned with whatever seasoning sounds good at the moment.
*Marinated (only for 30 minutes!!!!) with any of the McCormick grill mates.
*I also have a few "go to" recipes that my family loves. One has a chili-type sauce that's pretty hot. Another has a sauce made with mayo and parm cheese that's awesome!!
*Another favorite is to carmelize a bunch of onions, put the tilapia in a baking dish, cover the fish with a can of stewed tomatoes and the onions and bake for about 20 minutes. MMMMM!!!!! Serve it with rice or noodles.
*I also make a recipe that came from a local hotel, where you use 2 pieces of tilapia, with crumbled blue cheese and coconut (it's posted here somewhere too).
OTHER IDEAS:

Pan-fried...coat lightly with Fryin' Magic, or any other breading. Pan fry for 3-4 minutes on each side with a little olive oil or vegetable oil.

You can grill it too! Season it the way you like, and make sure to use a grill basket that's been sprayed REALLY well! There's almost no fat in tilapia, so it sticks if you don't.

When we have spaghetti and meatballs, I bake a few pieces of tilapia seasoned with garlic and Italian seasoning. I put it on top of my pasta before I put the sauce on (instead of meatballs). This is good with alfredo sauce too.

When we have tacos, I bake a few pieces with Mexican seasonings and use it to fill my soft taco shells.

We don't have Meijer so no bargains for me but I just saw this recipe last night in December's All You and thought it looked good AND simple. XU of course I thought of you when I saw it and figured you did some variation of this already.

Ingredients

• 4 tilapia fillets (about 6 oz. each)
• Salt
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

1. 1. Sprinkle fish lightly with salt and dredge in flour on both sides to coat. Warm 1 Tbsp. each oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter melts. Sauté 2 fillets, turning once, until browned on both sides and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer to a plate; cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with another Tbsp. oil and butter and remaining fish.
