It’s been a tough job, but somebody had to do it. I’ve scoured some of the best home cooks’ blogs to find these tasty and simple tilapia recipes. With easy fish recipes like these, there’s no excuse not to eat more fish at home. Click the links to go directly to these tasty entrees.
Spicy Sauteed Tilapia with Cherry Tomatoes
This gorgeous dish, courtesy of Lynda’s Recipe Box, is a perfect way to use up the cheese in the feta container. It’s also a great example of improvising a recipe. Not having the exact ingredients didn’t stop Lynda. She simply substituted with something she had on hand. There are no rules, and sometimes it’s better to take a risk on an alternate ingredient than make an extra trip to the store.
I like this recipe on {creative cents} for two reasons. First, it’s frugal! It’s hard to go wrong when you start with tilapia, and this recipe keeps the cost down with simple ingredients. Everything you need is probably in your pantry or refrigerator right now. I also love that this recipe is baked. I make breaded tilapia at least twice a month, but I fry mine. It’s awfully tasty, but baking would definitely cut the calories!
Broiled Tilapia with Lime Chipotle Marinade
Normally, this would be just the type of recipe I’d shy away from. Lime Chipotle Marinade? Sounds fancy, doesn’t it? But a quick glance at the Soup Belly’s ingredient list hints at its simplicity. If you can’t get fresh nectarines, I’ll bet you could substitute with canned peaches in a pinch. The other reason I chose this recipe because the blog was so beautiful. Presentation is everything, after all. I’m a sucker for food bloggers who are also amazing photographers.
Pan Seared Lemon Tilapia with Parmesan Pasta
This simple preparation from Rachel vs. “The Kitchen” showcases the flavors of the lemon and spices. Super light and flavorful, and super fast to put together. Rachel reminds us that she pulled some frozen tilapia out of the freezer for this one. Easy!
Baja Shrimp and Tilapia Enchladas
This recipe was rounded up by a blogger I’ve recently discovered, Pioneer Woman. One of her readers submitted this unique combination of shrimp and tilapia, two of my favorites. Warning, you can lose yourself quickly on this beautiful website. That Pioneer Woman seems to do everything well!
