Grilled Tilapia with Smoked Paprika Recipe

Ingredients

This recipe yields 4 servings. Ingredient amounts are adjusted automatically, but cooking times and steps remain consistent.

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons ground smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• teaspoon salt
• teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 4 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each)
• Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth spice mixture.

Step 2: Evenly brush the oil and spice mixture over each tilapia fillet, ensuring all sides are coated.

Step 3: Preheat a large nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Place the tilapia fillets on the grill pan. Cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side.

Step 5: Remove from heat and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Recipe Tip

This tilapia can also be grilled outdoors for a smoky flavor. Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the heat of your outdoor grill.
