Blackened Tilapia Print

I used Road Kill Grill Seasonings to grill this wonderfully spicy, smoky tilapia fillet.

HERE'S ALL I HAD TO DO

First, I got my grill hot & ready using my handy dandy chimney starter.

Next, I liberally oiled my nonstick grill sheet to help keep the fish from sticking, then set it aside.

In the kitchen, while I was waiting for the coals to get ready, I prepared the fish.

Microwave at 80% power, 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil and minced garlic for 1 minute. Heat oil just long enough to infuse it with the garlic flavor.

Dry off the fillets with a paper towel, then coat them with garlic oil on both sides. On one side, sprinkle 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons Road Kill Grill Seasoning on fillets.

HANDY TIP
To help keep the spices on the fillet, spray nonstick cooking spray on top of the spices, enough to moisten. If you have a spray bottle for oils, it would come in handy right about now.

Grill tilapia 4 to 7 minutes, depending on thickness of the fillets. DO NOT FLIP. It takes very little time to cook through over a hot grill, so don't go walk away. Test the fillet with a fork; it's done when it flakes apart.

  2. ME TOO, Francie!
    Now why am I surprised that we both like the same food?

    After all, you & I are gastronomically related kinfolk.

    I’ve been given a recipe for fish Tacos, using tilapia. I can’t wait to try it.

    Using indoor grill…Put fish seasoning side down or up for grilling?

  4. Jill says:

    Good morning Pete!

    Season side UP, no matter an indoor grill, outdoor grill, or the oven broiler.
