HERB-COATED TILAPIA WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Finely grate the zest from the lemon, then cut the lemon in quarters and set aside.
• Mix the herbs and lemon zest on a plate. Sprinkle the fillets with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and coat both sides of each fillet with herbs, pressing them on so they adhere.
• In a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Cook the tilapia until the flesh is opaque and just cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side (cut into the thick part of a fillet to check). Serve the tilapia with the lemon quarters, for squeezing at the table. (Note: If you're serving this dish to company, you might want to cut wedges from a lemon that hasn't been zested.)

GRILLED LEMON HERB TILAPIA SANDWICH

Steps:

• DO NOT DEFROST TILAPIA. Place the fillets in a large pan or plate and brush with butter on both sides. Add garlic powder, salt, lemon pepper, parsley, and pepper on both sides, as well. For tougher fish, use less butter(may slightly compromise flavor).
• Place a slice of lemon on each fillet and pour lemon juice on fillets.
• Wrap all fillets in foil and grill 7-12 minutes depending on heat levels of your grill. I recommend using a George Foreman grill for best results.
• Slice fillets in half approximately 4-5 minutes while grilling to ensure that they cook thoroughly.
• Place fillets on slightly toasted bun and add tomatoes, onions, lettuce and mayonnaise or tarter sauce. Enjoy!
