This Grilled Tilapia recipe offers a flavorful and simple way to prepare tilapia fish, enhanced with butter, lemon, and garlic parsley salt. Perfectly grilled to a tender, juicy finish with a fresh dill garnish, this dish is ideal for a light and healthy meal.

Ingredients

Fish

  • 4 whole tilapias

Seasonings and Garnish

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
  • 2 lemons, sliced into half rings
  • 2 tablespoons garlic parsley salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lemon and butter: Slice the lemons into half rings and cut the unsalted butter into small chunks to be used for stuffing the fish.
  2. Prep the tilapia: Make small incisions on all sides of each tilapia to allow seasoning and flavors to penetrate deeply.
  3. Season and stuff the fish: Generously season all sides of the tilapia with garlic parsley salt. Stuff the incisions with chunks of butter and lemon slices to infuse flavor during grilling.
  4. Grill the tilapia: Preheat the grill to 450 °F. Place the stuffed tilapia on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side. Depending on the size of the fish, grilling time may be extended slightly to ensure the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
  5. Garnish and serve: Once cooked, garnish the grilled tilapia with fresh dill and serve immediately for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Ensure the grill is properly preheated to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
  • Adjust grilling time based on the thickness of the tilapia to avoid undercooking or drying out the fish.
  • Use fresh ingredients for best flavor, especially fresh dill and lemons.
  • Butter adds moisture and richness; for a lighter version, you can reduce the amount or substitute with olive oil.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
