GRILLED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Mix olive oil, lemon pepper, cumin, paprika, dried mustard, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Brush each tilapia fillet with mixture using a pastry brush. Flip; brush the other side. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Spray a large piece of foil with cooking spray and place on the grill. Transfer tilapia onto the foil.
• Cook fillets on the preheated grill until they're easily flaked with a fork, about 5 minutes per side. Serve.

PAN-SEARED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish; gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Brush the melted butter onto the tilapia in the last minute before removing from the skillet. Serve immediately.
