Bake 425 F for 15 minutes. The key to tilapia is to season the hell out of it because its such a mild fish. Takes really well to blackening but you can do just about any kind of flavor you like and it will taste good. I like to serve it with cilantro rice and asparagus.

Once made a tilapia salad out of it by adapting a tuna salad recipe, turned out ok. Would have to tweak it before I'd tell anyone to try it.

Makes a good fish fry if cod/haddock is too expensive in your area.

Tilapia is farm raised shit. Get something local, wild, & fresh. It will literally be 1000x better.

Except when you buy the "Harvested in the USA" or fresh wild tilapia.

I just batter and fry. Or put it in laksa when I lack walking catfish.

It's cheap, $1.99/lb.
