Lemon Rosemary Tilapia Amandine

Did you know that I used to hate fish? Before I met my husband, I swore I would never eat it. Of course, with his love for fish, I eventually found myself trying a light, white fish in Malibu, CA and completely loved it. I was immediately fascinated with the many ways one could decorate fish – herbs, garlic, lemon, tomatoes, nuts – it seemed endless. One of my favorite fish to experiment with is tilapia, because the flavor is not very fishy. This allows you to add almost anything you want and it will always come out great! This weekend I made lemon rosemary tilapia with garlic and slivered almonds on the top (I learned garnishing something with almonds is called “amandine” – isn’t that a pretty word?). I love that this recipe is so easy and fast to make, it is perfect for any night of the week! I like to serve this tilapia dish with a side of vegetables and potato wedges or jasmine rice.

This morning I woke up to many of my neighbors leaving at an early hour, including my husband, to go watch the annual San Francisco “Bay to Breakers” race/celebration. Apparently it gets pretty crazy here, but I had enough of that during my college years so I preferred to sleep in on my Sunday Does that make me sounds old? I think it does!

What are you plans for the day?

  4. In a small bowl, add the juice from ½ lemon, freshly grated lemon zest from the ½ lemon, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Stir well.

  6. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, then quickly remove and top each fillet with 1 tbsp slivered almonds.

Wonderfully spicy grill tilapia. Keep them coming back for more with this blackened tilapia. Healthy eating has never been so good nor so simple and easy.

Based on my Oven Baked Blacken Tilapia, it only takes 2 minutes per side to get a grilled masterpiece. I have included options for cooking tools and for levels of heat.

Goes great with my Simple Tarter Sauce.

 This is the easiest 5 in a long time. Definitely the leader for the best recipe of the year…

Notes
I used a Brinkmann Steel Flexible Grilling Basket that cost $15 at Home Depot. You can also get one at Amazon for a few dollars more. Highly rated by Consumers Report.

Preheat grill to as high as it will go. For me that is about 600 degrees. If using a griddle instead of a grill basket, then place it on the grill to preheat.

Combine 3 T paprika, 1 t salt, 1 T onion powder,1 t black pepper, 1 t dry thyme, 1 t dry oregano and 1/2 t garlic
powder. Also add cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp for normal (3/10 heat) 1/2 tsp for spicy (7/10) and 1 tsp for manly man.

 Rinse and pat dry 1 pound of tilapia.

 Melt 1 T butter in a microwave. About 15 seconds.

 Brush both sides of tilapia with the melted butter.

 Coat both sides of the tilapia with a generous amount of the rub.

 Spray a flexible grill basket with a generous amount of PAM.

 Load the tilapia in the grill basket. Alternatively, if using a griddle then add a tablespoon or so of vegetable oil to grill. Do not use olive oil since it smokes at high temperatures.

Place the tilapia on preheated grill and close lid. Grill for only 2 minutes. Flip and grill another 2 minutes.

 Done. Serve immediately.
