    I know you are on here looking for delicious recipes and I do have one for you. Just wondering if you heard all the latest concerns about tilapia containing as much Omega 6 as a doughnut and being really bad for you?

    Ingredients:


    1 Tilapia Fillet (or other whitefish) grilled
    1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    Salt & pepper, to taste

    Mango Salsa
    White rice
    Vegetable Medley

    Mango Salsa
    1 cup diced tomatoes
    1/2 cup diced red onions
    1/2 each diced jalapeņo
    2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
    Salt and pepper to taste
    1 teaspoon salad oil

    1/2 cup chopped mango

    Preparation:

    Tilapia Fillet:
    Spray both sides of the tilapia with Pam Oil Spray.
    Shake seasoning (salt, pepper, cayenne pepper) over both sides of the tilapia.
    Place tilapia on a clean, lightly oiled grill, smooth side down. Cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees, turning once during cooking.

    Steam fresh vegetable medley (use no butter) season with lemon pepper.

    I eat a lot of Tilapia I would be interested in the info regarding the Omega 6.


    As far as recipes I have found some great ones on line that I have used.
    I prefer simple and easy ones for the most part. I do sometimes try soemthing more involved. I included one of each below a simple and a more involved one.

    In all honesty I like buying some of the grinders seasonings that they sell and use them and grill it.
    I actually have a Chicken seasoning grinder one that has Lemon and other seasonings in it and it tastes great on fish as well as the intended chicken.

    Anyway here are a couple good ones I have used and love.

    Herb Baked Tilapia
    Takes approx 15 minutes to complete

    1 pound frozen fish fillets, partially thawed
    1/4 cup chopped onion
    1 clove garlic, minced
    2 tablespoons butter
    1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed
    1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
    Dash pepper
    1/4 cup corn flakes, crumbled
    Preparation:
    Place fillets in greased baking dish. Cook onion and garlic in butter until tender. Stir in seasonings, cook 1 minute longer. Spread mixture over the fish fillets. Top with cornflake crumbs. Bake at 450° for 12 to 15 minutes, until fish flakes easily with a fork.
    Baked fish recipe serves 4.





    Baked Tilapia in Parchment
    takes 30 to 60 minutes

    4 fish fillets
    4 sheets parchment paper
    Olive oil
    8 sun-dried tomatoes
    4 teaspoons garlic and/or scallions
    Fresh ginger -- optional
    Salt & pepper

    Preheat oven to 425F. Put the dried tomatoes in very hot water.

    Wash the fillets off and put aside. Take a piece of parchment paper, fold in half and place open on the counter top. Spread a little oil (1-2 teaspoons) on one side, near the crease, in a spot big enough to cover the fish. Place one fillet on this spot of olive oil.

    Chop up the scallions very fine and put about 1 tablespoon on the fish (or about one clove of garlic finely chopped). Coarsely chop the tomatoes and put about 2 tomatoes on the fillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. If you have some ginger, chop it up and sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon on the fillet.

    Fold up the parchment around the fish, crimping along the edge. Place on the cookie sheet when done. Repeat for other fillet/s.

    Place cookie sheet/s in the oven and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the parchment is golden brown. Carefully open the parchment to serve.



    As I said I found these online and have oodles more if you try a search on recipes.com
    They offer feedback on the recipes as do other sites.
    Good Luck
