Directions

In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients, except the fish, oil and lemon wedges.

Add tilapia and mixes, making sure all the pieces are well-coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, at least for 2 hours.

Preheat the pan to medium-high .Baste the grill or grill pan with oil to prevent tilapia from sticking to the grill.

Place the marinated pieces on the pan and cook, turning once or twice, until the fish pieces are opaque and just flaky inside and lightly charred on the outside, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve hot with lemon wedges and tropical fruit salsa.

For the salsa
Whisk together lemon juice, sugar, salt, and chili until sugar is dissolved.. Add remaining ingredients and toss until coated. Serve chilled.

Editors Review

Fish like tilapia turn out great when cooked with interesting flavors and techniques. Watch the video by Chef Hari showing in simple and easy steps to cook tilapia as well as a tropical style salsa to serve over. Good to pair with wine.
