I do tilapia a lot of ways. It's a staple for me!
* Simplest way - dredge in a little flour, sprinkle with salt, pepper, turmeric, and cayenne, and pan-fry in a little oil 3-5 minutes on a side.
* Indian spice rub - mix grated ginger, crushed garlic, cumin, cayenne, turmeric, garam masala, salt, pepper, and a little lemon juice to make a paste. Rub on both sides of the fish and let marinate for about 15 minutes. Pan-fry or grill, 3-5 minutes on a side.
* Yucatan chili-lime style - heat a little oil in a pan with sliced chili peppers. Add the juice of 3 or 4 limes and some grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes. Add the fish, and cook until done (helps to put a cover on the pan after a few minutes). Stir in chopped cilantro, garnish with thinly-sliced garlic which you browned in a little oil while the fish was cooking.
