Tilapia Recipes    (200 Recipes)

Did you mean tulip?

Light & luscious, just right for your appetite.

This is my own creation. Sweet, mild, healthy, non-fishy tilapia is complimented by lemon, capers, butter, broth, and white wine in this satisfying and deceptively easy meal. I like my piccata lemony with touches of onion, garlic, and capers to round out the taste. This is a basic recipe for 1 lb. of filets. Please reduce this recipe accordingly if you use fewer filets, unless you want the leftunders as lunch or another dinner, like I do, if all is not eaten during the first go-‘round. I am a strong believer in flexibility, so experiment and substitute most any flaky white fish, pounded-flat veal or chicken cutlets, according to your creativity, pantry contents, budget, ingredient-availability, and personal tastes. I would greatly appreciate your feedback on this recipe, including any suggestions, comments, and input. Thank you for reading and trying this recipe! SparkPeople rocks my world!

This is a modification of someone else's version - I have changed the seasonings and used less parmesan and butter/margarine.

A healthy dinner alternative... a light white fish... full of flavor and great served with broccoli and rice.

From the Biggest Loser Family Cookbook.Great flavor!! Low calorie, Low fat!!!

I found a similar recipe on a website before, but it called for tomatillos and not nearly enough mango!

This is an easy to make dish that is delicious and flavourful.

Tilapia filets topped with a parmesan cheese based mix then baked or broiled.

This recipe combines 3 of my favorite foods - clams, couscous and tilapia - into one tasty dish!

My mom's idea. A very simple, easy to make recipe that I find delicious. It also cooks within the salsa juice so no oil is needed!

Very Good

So easy! Love it!

Simple and Delish!

Loaded with flavor. Works for cod, monkfish, sole, scallops also.

I wasn't able to find Greek seasoning at the grocery store bu here is a recipe for it. Take 1 tsp. thyme, 1 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/2 tsp. marjoram, 1/2 tsp. basil, 1 tsp. mint, 1/2 tsp. dried minced onion and 1/4 tsp. dried minced garlic. Mix together in a bowl and store.

For people who don't like fishy-tasting fish!

Broiled tilapia with a creamy parmesen sauce

Full of flavor and so satisfying for something that has the same calories as a lean cuisine! Inspiration from a meal I had at Bahama Breeze that totally won me over! I eat this at least twice a week.

Great sauce to use with cashew tilapia recipe, pork, etc.

I was going through the recipes on the site and LOVE2COOK had one that looked good, but I have never boiled anything, I bake. (I also grill when weather permits, but not the case today). It turned out okay and I will do it again.

Tilapia fillets are spread with an olive oil/ranch dressing mix/parmesan cheese paste, then lightly breaded in panko and baked.

Pancitas de tilapia empanizadas y al horno con ensalada de lechuga, y tomate en limon

Ingredients below for crust is more than what is in the nutritional since there is always waste. 16 oz fillets are about 6 of them.

This is a recipe that is home-grown from another chicken recipe. I cut out the oil and use the broiler instead of the stovetop (seems to cook and brown better this way.)

I adapted this from a weight watchers stew recipe and a heavy fat chowder recipe. I prefer to use fat free half and half, but use anything creamy you like.

Any white fish can be used with this recipe

My husband hates baked fish, but I was determined to find a way for him to eat fish without frying it (I don't need the carbs). This is what I came up with and both he and my 3 year old son loved it.

Even the picky 9 year old loved it!

Fast and easy. No cleanup.

Delicious fish dinner that is ready in 30 minutes for those busy nights.

A tilapia dish

You also want to add Cajun seasoning to your liking.

This is a low sodium recipe. I hope you enjoy only 15 min to make.

4 tilapia filets
1/4 c veggie oil

A yummy and easy dinner :)

mmmm, mmmm :)

fast and easy fish recipe

Pour this vinaigrette over tilapia, its delicious.

This is so good my 2 year old loves it and I love it cause it's so easy to make.

when you are tired of plain grilled fish....kick it up a notch with this fancy baked recipe.....any recommendations to reduce the calories would be appreciated.

A wonderful fish dinner that even my little sister loves.

I fell in love with the recipe after first trying it at a diner I used to work at and it was on the menu as a "healthy request". Once I stopped working there I started making it at home with a few lower-fat alternatives and a whole lot less butter.

Tilapia with a simple but tasty spice rub.

Baked parmesan crusted fish fillets. Quick, easy and tasty.

Cooking Light Superfast Suppers, Oxmoor House, JANUARY 2003

Original recipe calls for salmon, which I don't like. I make it with tilapia instead.

The original of this recipe calls for non low-fat mayo, but I've used the low-fat version and had no issues. A really tasty, really easy way to make tilapia. Enjoy!

A low calorie meal that is easy to prepare and quick to clean up. This is for one serving but the recipe can easily be adjusted for more.

This is a very good fish entry which is low fat and low calorie but not skimpy on taste. Try my Chilled Fruit Soup as a starter to this meal

Light version of a classic fish florentine dish. Delicious!

Recipe came from Ingrid Hoffmann

This is a yummy way to quickly make your tilapia! It is great along with rice or baked potato.

These tacos are SO delicious, and the avocado sauce is a great, super light and citrus-y alternative to guacamole. This recipe is fantastic served with a super simple green salad and a glass of slimmed-down sangria.

This recipe is made with coconut milk and curry paste and baked in the oven. The fish is tender, juicy and very tasty with the coconut and curry sauce. Of course this recipe can be doubled or more if needed.
You could also use Mahi Mahi if you don't have Tilapia

Low in fat, high on taste! This is so easy and quick to make, too! Basically, use 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese per fillet that you will broil. Add just enough mayo to form a thick paste, then thin it with the lemon juice. Add seasonings to your liking. YUM!!

(Other recipes call for butter, but I find that if I use butter, it drains off of the fish and onto the pan. Leaving the butter out helps to keep the cheese topping on the fish!)

Tilapia w/ Shrimp in a tomato/onion sauce

Sauteed fish goes mildly Mediterranean, with bright vegetable and a buttery pan sauce.

From MarthaStewart.com

The nutritional info does not contain the info for the salt, pepper or cajun seasoning.

This is a very low fat, low calorie, high protein meal. Very filling. I usually pair it with a whole grain pasta dish.

Lightly seasoned with dried chipotle & sliced tomato. With a golden crust on top that distributes the flavor of the tomato. This dish is light, satisfing. Serve with your favorite vegtables.

We love Omaha steak's tortilla encrusted tilapia fillets except for the fact that they are loaded with sodium. So, I tried to imitate it and was amazed to see this much lighter version with less salt tasting excellent and so easy to prepare.

The original recipe called for blending small bits of butter into the topping and dotting the fish with more bits of butter. Using spray butter cuts all those calories and fat, but it still tastes great. It also called for salt, but you don't need it with the adobo seasoning. Adobo seasoning is a spice mix that can be found in the Hispanic section of your supermarket.

Original recipe calls for chicken I switched it for Tilapia. I used cheddar flavored french fried onions.

Sweet, spicy and tnagy. Serve with wild rice and green beans. cinnamon contains compounds that stimulate insulin receptors and increase cells Syndrome X and diabetes.

Quick and easy!
This is a tasty dish. It has 462.5 calories and 8.4 g of fat per serving for the entire meal, which isnt bad!

This is a quick and easy yet, flavorful way to serve a low fat and heart healthy fish.

This is an easy, easy recipe. Soooo good.

This is my take on Maggie Ruggiero's Fish with Creamy Leeks from Gourmet Magazine, November 2007

Quick, healthy and delicious!
