How to prepare. 

Grilled Tilapia

Ingredients:

➤4 tilapia fillets

➤2 tablespoons olive oil

➤2 cloves garlic, minced

➤1 lemon, juiced

➤1 teaspoon paprika

➤1 teaspoon dried oregano

➤1/2 teaspoon salt

➤1/4 teaspoon black pepper

➤Lemon wedges (for serving)

➤Fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish, optional

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill: Clean and preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-                200°C). Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice,              paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. This mixture will serve as both a marinade and a              basting sauce.

3. Marinate the tilapia: Place the tilapia fillets in a shallow dish or a large zip-top bag. Pour the                   marinade over the fish, making sure each fillet is coated evenly. Let the fish marinate for about 15-20     minutes at room temperature, or you can refrigerate it for up to 30 minutes if you have more time.

4. Grill the tilapia: Once the grill is ready, carefully place the marinated tilapia fillets directly on the            grates. Grill for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork            and  has nice grill marks. Be gentle when flipping the fish to prevent it from falling apart.

5. Baste the fish: During the grilling process, you can brush the tilapia fillets with the leftover marinade     to keep them moist and add flavor. Continue grilling for a few more minutes after each basting, or           until the fish is cooked through.

6. Serve: Remove the grilled tilapia from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh      parsley or cilantro if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra zesty flavor.

Grilled tilapia pairs well with various side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, quinoa, or a simple salad. Enjoy your homemade grilled tilapia!
