Ingredients
– 4 Tilapia fillets
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
These ingredients create a flavorful marinade that enhances the mild taste of the Tilapia and brings it to life on the grill.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to achieve perfectly grilled Tilapia:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
2. Marinate: Place the Tilapia fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn the fillets to coat evenly. Allow them to marinate for 15-30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
3. Preheat Grill: While the fish is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
4. Place Fish on the Grill: Once heated, carefully place the marinated Tilapia fillets on the grill.
5. Grill: Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Remove and Rest: Gently remove the fillets from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Garnish: If desired, top with fresh parsley for an added pop of color and flavor.
