Hi All, Need your help with some recipes. Purchased some talapia as it was on sale this week. I never made it before, but friends have said it's a sweet meaty fish with not much flavor. Any suggestions? Fish Tacos? Thank you. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Here's a fish taco recipe my husband and I tried for the first time last night. We liked it and would fix again.
Fish Tacos
3/4 cup diced red onion 1/4 rice wine vinegar 1 tbsp lime juice 1/4 salt Mix all ingredients in a Quart size Ziploc freezer bag and put in fridge to marinade while you prepare the remaining steps.
3-4 Frozen Tilapia Filets 1/8 cup Olive Oil 1/8 cup lime juice 2 Tbsp Taco Seasoning Put all the ingredients into a gallon size baggie and shake until the filets are coated well. Put coated filets into a baking dish and bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes or until tilapia flakes with a fork.
In a separate bowl, mix: 1/4 cup Sour Cream 1/4 Mayonnaise 1 tbsp lime juice 1/8 tsp salt Drain liquid off marinated onions and mix with sour cream sauce.
Using a fork, break the cooked Tilapia into chunks and serve in a warm tortilla with sour cream/onion sauce. Garnish with cabbage mix.

Thank you to everyone who passed along a recipe. Dinner was wonderful! I made Tilapia Milanese with Citrus Bagna Cauda on the side. My sides were green beans with garlic and onions topped with tomatoes and baked in the oven. also served it with brown rice. The fish was very moist and full of flavor without the Bagna Cauda and some dinner guests enjoyed the fish sans sauce. DH absolutely LOVED the sauce. To each their own; glad I tried it both ways. I have no idea if it makes a difference but I soaked the tilapia in milk (zero fat is all we use) for 15 minutes. Dipped in beaten egg, then in seasoned bread crumbs with a some lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, S&P and fresh chopped parsley mixed in. Sauteed the fish in equal amounts of o.o. and bumble and brown natural spread approx. 2 mins per side and put in a 250 degree oven to keep warm while I sauteed the remaining portions. I had made the sauce earlier. The citrus bagna cauda sauce can be made 1 day ahead. The orange flavor definitely comes through Ingredients * 3 tablespoons unsalted butter * 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 teaspoons * 4 anchovy fillets, minced * 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic * 2 tablespoons orange juice * 2 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil leaves * 1 teaspoon lemon zest * 1 teaspoon orange zest Directions Cook the butter and 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a heavy medium saucepan over low to medium heat just until the butter is melted, stirring frequently. Add the anchovies and stir until the anchovies dissolve, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat. Stir in the orange juice, basil, and lemon and orange zests. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Re-warm before using

I have never been a big fan of tilapia... I'd rather have flounder or fluke myself... but tilapia, while being very bland for my taste, does accept seasonings well...

We had heard that and were not expecting much from the tilapia, which is why I prepared the sauce...but we were very much surprised by the flavor. The fish itself was sweet, like sole, and no sauce was needed. I had put lemon zest in the bread crumbs so it didn't even need lemon, but out of habit I did squeeze some fresh lemon on it. Maybe because I soaked it in milk? We will definitely make it again.

I like marinading light fish, like tilapia, flounder, ect. in buttermilk for about 30 minutes before preparation... I ususlla add S&P and a little bit of cayenne to the buttermilk...
and we usually fry fish in this category... bread crumbs or cracker meal or cornflake crumbs... and now I usually will add powdered buttermilk to the coating! plus whatever spices I feel like at the time... Yummmm...

Mayonnaise & fish go well together! I do one similar for salmon... with a mayo/whipped egg white/dill topping that is browned in the oven...
