Tilapia Al Ajillo Garlic Tilapia Recipes

GARLIC ALFREDO TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Brush the tilapia fillets with oil on both sides, season with Creole seasoning to taste, then place into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the flesh is no longer translucent, and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the garlic has softened and the aroma has mellowed, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Alfredo sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, and keep warm until the fish is ready. Pour the sauce over the fish to serve. Sprinkle with additional Creole seasoning if desired.

TILAPIA AL AJILLO (GARLIC TILAPIA)

Steps:

• Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Put fillets in first, and when they start to turn color a bit (after 1-2 minutes) add garlic slices.
• Continue cooking about 4 minutes or so, then flip fillets.
• Fry until cooked through, and fish flakes easily with a fork-- this will depend entirely on the thickness of your fillets, so you will need to watch them carefully.
• The garlic should turn a dark golden brown, but not be burned, if you notice that the garlic is starting to burn, spoon it over the fish, so it is no longer in contact with the pan.
• Serve with freshly squeezed lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley.

GARLIC AND TOMATO TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mash together the garlic and tomato. Stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Place the fish fillets in a shallow baking dish.
• Bake fish for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until about halfway done. Remove from the oven, and pour the tomato sauce over it. Return to the oven, and cook for 10 more minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

TILAPIA WITH GARLIC AND LEMON

Steps:

• Pour marinade over all remaining ingredients in resealable plastic bag. Seal bag; turn to evenly coat ingredients with marinade. Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate. Remove ingredients from marinade; discard bag and marinade.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place 1 fish fillet in center of each of four 18x12-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil; top with one-fourth of the vegetable mixture. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside.
• Grill 10 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork. Cut slits in foil with sharp knife to release steam before opening each packet. Remove fish and vegetables from each packet to serving plate; drizzle evenly with the reserved liquid from bottom of packet.
