Dinner doesn't get much easier than this simple and healthy fish recipe. The only changes I would make is adding a more flavorful seasoning than parsley; for example, Old Bay, or a sprinkling of fresh herbs.

Also, as pointed out by Julie in the comments, cooking for 30 minutes is way too long. Tilapia shouldn't take more than 15 minutes, tops.

I would definitely substitute fresh dill, thyme or lemon thyme for the parsley. Or even fresh Italian parsley. And perhaps add a pinch of Essence as well. (Actually, that's how I always cook my tilapia!)
Oh yes this does sound good. Thanks Shan.
Scratch what I just said. I just noticed that it says to bake for 30 minutes, and that seems way too long! I would do it for about 12 minutes, tops.

Essence is a fabulous idea, Julie.

Thanks, Katie.

I will check that, Julie. You are right, it is WAY too long!

I corrected that, Julie. Thanks for pointing it out.

I have no idea what Essence is. What is it?

Also, when buying spices, do you think it matters if they are off brand? I know I buy garlic name brand. I prefer to use fresh garlic, but sometimes don't.

Something so easy even I can cook it.

Essence is the seasoning that Emeril Lagasse uses- basically a Cajun type blend.

Thanks for the feedback!

I am so hungry for fish right now...and can't get it here. I was trying to figure out an excuse to go to Whole Foods in St. Louis this weekend, but I always spend way too much!

fresh tilapia is so good. you must season it really well. My sister makes the best i've tasted.
☀ Aunt Shanny Jan 24, 2008, 9:30am EST
Sue, I told Matt we will definitely be eating more fish.

Thanks, Lar.

What does she do with it, Mama Cee? I have plenty!

We love tilapia. I'll definitely have to try this one on the family.
☀ Aunt Shanny Jan 31, 2008, 9:44am EST
Awesome, JE.

Marsha, I just used some of that Mrs Dash lemon pepper on my burgers and I really liked it!

thanks I'll check this out...I haven't cooked tilapia before but I saw it's on sale and was looking for ideas. perhaps throwing in some of our fresh basil with it would be good.
