Easy Grilled Tilapia Foreman Grill

Easy Grilled Tilapia Recipe

Grilling on a George Foreman Grill is a fabulous way to cook tilapia. The grill will help to add a little more flavor when the flesh grabs some of those grill marks. The use of paprika in this recipe will help to bring that smoky flavor to the fish and will add a touch of color.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh tilapia fillets cut into 4 ounce portions
  • 1 ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil EVOO
  • 1 garlic clove finely minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon finely ground black pepper
  • lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Foreman grill to high with the top closed.
  • In a small bowl, combine the olive oil with the garlic.
  • Brush the tilapia fillets on one side with 1/2 of the olive oil and garlic. Season with 1/2 the paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Flip the fish over and repeat.
  • Place the fillets on the grill and close the top.
  • Cook for approximately 5 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes with a fork.
  • Check the fish at 3 minutes. If you have a digital thermometer, you are looking for an internal temperature of 145°F.
  • Serve the whole fillet portions with lemon wedges and your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • When shopping for fresh tilapia fillets look for “sustainably raised” or “sustainably sourced” on the package label or the display case tag.
