Grilled Tilapia
Description
This recipe calls for four whole tilapia fish prepared by making small incisions to help seasonings penetrate. The fish are generously seasoned with garlic parsley salt on all sides. Lemon is sliced into half rings and butter into small chunks, which are stuffed inside the fish to infuse moisture and citrus aroma during grilling.
Grilling at 450°F for about five minutes per side cooks the fish quickly, developing slight char marks while preserving tender flesh. The butter and lemon inside melt and release flavor and keep the meat from drying out. The tilapia is garnished with fresh dill to add a subtle herbal note.
This straightforward grilled tilapia provides a balanced interplay between the richness of butter, aromatics from garlic parsley salt, and brightness from lemon and dill. It offers a light seafood option for grilling that pairs well with simple sides.
