mato, mustard and onion. It's not sweet, and it has a Texas kick. It also has a smoky smell,
and when we're grilling, our neighbors can smell it's inviting fragrance a block away. You
can control the spice by adding less sauce and more olive oil to your marinade. Link for

Directions:
1) Add the chopped green onions, Bar-B-Q Sauce of your choice, and Tilapia in a dish
(large enough to hold marinade and fish) and allow them all to marinade while the coals in
the Bar-B-Q pit are heating. You don't need to marinade fish too long. If it's too warm on
the back porch where you're grill is 'heating up', put your marinating fish in the refrigerat-
or until you're ready to cook.
2) Elevate grill as high as you can place it, away from the heat source. If your coals are
very hot, you'll generally only cook your Tilapia fillets 3 minutes on each side. If you are
grilling whole fish, cook 3 - 4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness of fish), with
skin side down first, and then turn carefully. Avoid overcooking. If you're cooking with a
gas grill, keep your flame at a medium flame during cooking. Avoid overcooking.
Serve with pinto beans, guacamole salad, tortillas (corn or flour) and pecan pralines for
dessert.

Fried Tilapia
When frying Tilapia with grease over a hot flame, here are some secrets to assure a suc-
cessful dish:
1) 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.
2) Heat your grease until it's HOT and then when you put your fish in to cook, lower the
heat to medium high. Tilapia fillets are generally not thick, and your fish cooks quickly.
