Tilapia Recipes - Quick and Easy, Sure, But Exciting, Too
These easy tilapia recipes should demonstrate why this farm-raised finster has become, possibly the most popular fish in America. Tender and mild-flavored, tilapia soak up the essence of any added flavoring like herbs and spices. Prices for this finny favorite are typically among the lowest, except maybe for catfish. Of course, this certainly accounts for some of its popularity. But, when you find a really low price like $3.99 it's probably from China and I'm unsure about their processing methods so I'll pay a dollar or two more for a better product. But, that's just me.
But don't buy them just because they're cheap; buy them because they're a terrific way to get your family as excited about a seafood dinner as they are about pizza or mac and cheese - okay, almost as excited.

***NEW*** Tilapia TacosMakes 4
Fish tacos have been growing in popularity for quite a while so I think it's time for you to get into the tasty game.
1/2 tsp each chili powder & cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Olive oil
2 limes
2 6-oz tilapia fillets (or other mild white fish)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 6-inch flour tortillas
Toppings (Don’t go wild with these or you'll lose that terrific tilapia taste– you don’t want to lose that.
Chopped fresh tomatoes
thinly sliced green onions
roughly chopped cilantro
lime wedges on the side
Mix the first 5 ingredientsin a small bowl. Arrange the fish fillets in a glass baking dish or on a nonreactive platter (not metal). Brush fillets on both sides with spice mixture and season with salt and pepper. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over a medium flame. Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom and sauté the fillets until browned and cooked through, about 3 or 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and break into bite-sized chunks with a fork.Set aside.
Heat a large dry skillet over medium-high flame and slightly brown the tortillas one at a time, about 30 seconds per side. You can also nuke them in the microwave (they won’t brown, but they’ll be nice and soft).
Divide fish among four tortillas and add your toppings. Cut the other lime in wedges and serve with the tacos.
