Tilapia Marinade

"This is my favorite way to make tilapia, especially because Costco has such a great deal on their packaged tilapia, (at least here in Arizona.) So this recipe is not only very yummy, it is very inexpensive. In fact, you probably have all of the ingredients in your kitchen. Enjoy!"

directions

  • Mince the garlic into fine pieces.
  • Chop up the parsley into small pieces.
  • Place the parsley and garlic into a jar with a tight fitting lid.
  • Squeeze the juice into the jar.
  • Add the olive oil, balsamic, oregano, pepper and Tabasco to the jar.
  • Put the lid on the jar and shake well.
  • Marinade your tilapia fillets for 20-30 minutes.
  • I grill my tilapia for about 5 minutes, each side, but you could bake it for 30 minutes, or cook it in a frying pan, sprayed with Pam, for about 15 minutes on your stove top.

  1. This recipe was not only easy to make but tasted great! I plan on using it again! Thanks for sharing it!
     
  2. This is a great marinade. I used it on thin cut cod and added cilantro (because I had it) and used fresh oregano instead of dry, Went heavy on the balsamic and after I was done I cooked the marinade and used it as a sauce for the fish. Excellent.
     
  3. I made this for my daughter, who doesn't eat red meat, on a night the rest of the family was having beef tenderloin. It was excellent! I will definitely make this again . . . I think it would also be good for chicken or pork or other light fish. I chose the balsamic rather than the red wine vinegar, although I think both would be good, depending on what flavor you're after.
     
  4. I used the suggested Balsamic Vinegar (a very good quality), and it made the fish too sweet.
     
  5. I really liked this. I used the balsamic and while good it was very much the prominent flavor. I think I will try with red wine vinegar next time for a subtler flavor. I grilled these for about 5 minutes per side but mine must have been a bit thicker (although from Costco) needed a couple of minutes in microwave to finish off.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a teacher with a lot of time on my hands this summer!! I have found so many easy and wonderful recipes on this site so I decided to add some of my favorites! My boyfriend proposed in December and one of my goals, before our wedding, is to be a better cook. I try different recipes all of the time, but am pretty short on cash, so I really try to use the ingredients I already have when I cook.
