Grilled Tilapia Recipe

We think practically any fish tastes great grilled with just some butter and lemon pepper. Tilapia is no exception. This recipe is simple and delicious. It can also be used for grilling tilapia fish tacos (see other recipe on this page).

Butter, softened

Lemon Pepper

4 tilapia fish fillets (if frozen, thaw first in cold water)

Preheat grill to high heat (500 degrees F).

Grilling Tip:
You know the grill is ready when you can place your hand a few inches above the open grill grate for only 1 - 2 seconds before pulling away.

Meanwhile, rub each side of your tilapia fillets with butter. Sprinkle each side with your desired amount of lemon pepper.

Lightly oil grill grate. Grilling tilapia only takes a total of 8 minutes on the bbq (turn halfway through).
