Tilapia Fish--A Deliciously Light Dinner Idea
As a healthy fish that's easy to cook and has tons of taste possibilities, it's no surprise that tilapia fish is growing in popularity. In fact, you may have had this simple fish already and not have known it; it's sometimes referred to simply as "whitefish" or even perch. Still, most grocery stores will label it as tilapia, so if you're ready to expand your seafood horizons, don't shy away from this inexpensive dinner option.
This small, light fish originated in Africa, but is now produced around the world, particularly in Asia. It has a very simple taste, which is why many people use it. Tilapia fish won't compete with flavorful sauces or side dishes and it isn't overly "fishy" for those who aren't huge seafood fans. However, since it's very light, you should buy more than just one fillet for each person; two to three is often a more appropriate serving size.
Tilapia is most often broiled, grilled, or baked, though it can also be fried or barbequed. It's very easy to cook and when purchased at the grocery store, tilapia fish typically doesn't require any extra preparation like skinning or deboning. (However, if you do buy tilapia with the skin on, be sure to remove it.) Most recipes require a simple breading and that's it.
Also, tilapia fish shares many of the health benefits of other types of seafood, but offers a more affordable price. For recipes that call for orange roughy, sole, bass, flounder, or snapper, feel free to substitute tilapia fish.Try our Grilled Tilapia Recipe!
