Last night’s dinner was exceptional. I really like tilapia even better than salmon now. This is John’s quick prep for a tilapia meal, and he asked me to name it the 12-Minute Tilapia.
John’s 12-Minute Tilapia
We purchase our tilapia frozen and individually wrapped. Unwrap it and place it on a microwave-safe plate and defrost it for approximately 30-seconds. Your microwave oven time may defrost differently than ours, which tends to kick bootie.
Defrost the Tilapia
Unwrap the fillets, place on a microwave-safe plate and defrost for approximately 30 seconds using the defrost button on your microwave. Place the fillets in your frying pan after you spray it with a nonstick cooking spray. We use canola or olive oil spray. John sprinkles garlic salt and Konriko Greek Seasoning on the fillets and cooks on low heat.
Cover and Cook
Cover the pan with the lid from your larger pot. After cooking the fillets for 6 minutes on each side, they are ready to eat. We served the tilapia with green beans (I prefer fresh green beans not canned, however I am out-numbered on that) and an Italian salad.
Dinner is served!
Yum! I love Talapia! They sell big bags at Costco that we buy.
Looks great – and easy! I look forward to attempting to duplicate. Thanks!
Let me know how it goes Lisa!
Normally we buy it at Costco too, this time our local Safeway store had it on sale
Tilapia is one of my favorite fish to cook! It’s usually cheaper than salmon too. I will definitely give this recipe a try. Watch out for my take on this recipe at http://www.myquickdinnerrecipes.com
Sounds simple and looks great. We’ll have to try this one.
Be sure and let me know how you like it.
Yes, simple is appealing to me! Let me know how it turns out for you.
Will do Lexi! Thanks for taking the time to comment
