Tilapia recipe?

wkygriller

The wife is not a big fan of fish, but last week I did cod on the egg and she loved it. Today she bought tilapia fillets :huh: and asked me to grill them tonight. I found one recipe in the cookbook, but it calls for a marinade that I don't have. Any suggestions?

Season them in salt and pepper, douse 'em in flour, then an egg wash, then panko crumbs and fry em in butter on the egg. JL does that at the OKC fest and it is great.

I have grilled them on sliced lemons or limes direct I forget what temp maybe 350F. Seasoning of choice. You won't have to flip.

I think ssn686 done it this way a lot.

Here is a post by ssn686. I've done it and it is mighty tasty. :P

Probably won't have any Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish Magic hangin around in the cubboard (you should get some for the next time) but a nice blend of seasoning that you like will do.

Thanks everyone for the recipes. Going to try the lemon slices and tsunami spin in the fish basket (Thanks Tim). If she keeps liking fish I will try some of the other suggestions. Will post pics later.

Hey Frank, Loved you video.

Just wondering what kinda heat were you doing them fish in that CI skillet? Tim

wkygriller: How did you prepare the cod? Tilapia is a mild fish also, but it is firmer than cod. Since the cod was such a hit, why not do something similar? :huh:

Dome temp usually starts around 450 but goes up with the opening and closing of the dome so many times. Only takes a couple minutes per side.

Richard,

You can roll up a few shrimp in them and stick a couple of toothpicks in to hold. A little butter, herbs and lemon zest.
You can also do them en papillote with butter and lemon.

Another nice process from the Coop "en papillote"

Add can some other stuff you like to the package - sliced squash, carrot strips, etc.

Seaux easy and seaux good

Thanks Frank. I really liked the shot in the video when the CI pan and fish is in-golfed in flames. :woohoo:

L.C. I did the cod the same method except I used shakin' the tree. She thinks all fish require tarter sauce so I'm taking baby steps right now. Hopefully one day I can get her into salmon and then possibly ahi. :ermm:

Hey Richard, The first time Cindy and I tried this we loved it. We used limes or lemons and were surprised that the fish did take on that flavor to a point and I loved eating some of the chard slices if limes/lemons. I'm sure your cook will be great. Not sure who first did this but, Jay aka ssn686 was the first I seen do it.

One of the best "light fish" meals I have ever had. Here are a few pics There would have been more, but the camera sucked the juice out of the batteries mid way thru.

Something we haven't seen here in quite a while...ball of fire in the sky :woohoo:


Put the lemon slices on both sides with tsunami spin.

These things are awesome

Need to find a better solution for a fish basket. Couldn't get a true temp reading. My sous chef in the background

Plated. Not the best pic, but it tasted great.

The wife put tarter on hers prior to tasting the fish. After she finished eating she said....and I quote "that tasted great, but would have tasted better without tarter sauce". :ermm:

Nice pic's of your place. I see you do have a lot of grass to mow. We live in the city here with Lot's of neighbors to deal with. I would love to live in the country like you but, I don't think Cindy would like it.

Sounds like your wife is liking the Tilapia. I am interested in the red fish cook Frank from Houma left you. I will have to try it soon. :P

Well we will have sunshine for a few days. I have some grass to mow as soon as the ground drys out some. A lot of folks have a lot of standing water. I am installing a brake box in my truck for my trailer. That will help with stopping and not rely on my truck brakes so much.

You all have a good day. Tim
