Marinade Ingredients:
1 Cup of oil - preferably olive oil but, you can also use vegetable oil or even Italian dress-
ing. Here is a list of healthy cooking oils: olive oil, canola oil flax seed oil, peanut oil, saf-
flower oil, sunflower oil, and corn oil. Avoid vegetable shortenings, butter, and coconut oil
because they are loaded with trans fats and saturated fats.
3 Tablespoons lemon or lime juice
1 Tablespoons of Italian Spices or oregano¼ Teaspoon black pepper
¼ Cup red balsamic vinegar, or you also add red or white wine instead of vinegar
½ Cup chopped parsley
2 cloves of finely chopped garlic
(optional) If you'd like to add some spice, add 2 dashes Cholulu Hot Sauce or Tabasco
Sauce
The (above) ingredients create an easy marinate for your Tilapia before you fire up your
grill. Marinade the fish or about 45 minutes in the refrigerator. By the time the coals are
hot, yourTilapia will have marinated in a delicious soupofoil and spices and ready to cook
and serve.
Directions:
Elevate your grill as high as you can place it away from the heat source. If your coals are
very hot, you'll generally only cook a whole fish about 4 to 5 minutes on each side (de-
pending on the weight of the fish) and cook the fillets about 3 minutes on each side. Avoid
overcooking. If you're cooking with a gas grill, keep your flame at a medium temperature
during cooking.
Serve with corn on the cob or a baked potato (corn and potato can also be cooked on the
grill at a lower heat for a longer time), baked beans, salad, and watermelon for dessert.
