Ingredients
Scale
Fish
- 6 Tilapia Fillets
Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) to ensure an even cooking temperature.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Drizzle 1 1/2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil into the bottom of a disposable baking dish to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Arrange Tilapia: Evenly lay the 6 tilapia fillets into the oiled baking dish.
- Season the Fish: Drizzle the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top of the fillets. Sprinkle evenly with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder for a balanced, herbaceous flavor.
- Grill the Fish: Place the baking dish on the preheated grill and cook until the tilapia is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
Notes
- Tilapia cooks quickly on the grill; monitor closely to avoid overcooking and drying out the fish.
- For extra flavor, consider marinating the fillets in the olive oil and seasoning mixture for 15-30 minutes before grilling.
- Use a disposable baking dish or a grill-safe pan to keep the fish from falling apart and to facilitate easy cleanup.
- Serve with fresh lemon wedges and a side of grilled vegetables or salad for a complete meal.
