A coworker forwarded Cooking Light’s Top-Rated Tilapia list today. It’s an interesting list. I like tilapia (as you all may have noticed), but I often have trouble figuring out what to do with it. I’m definitely going to try the Sautéed Tilapia with Honey-Scallion Dressing and the Sautéed Tilapia with Lemon-Peppercorn Pan Sauce. What’s your pick?

Those are two pretty good choices! I also liked the Broiled Tilapia with Thai Coconut-Curry Sauce and the Spicy Tilapia with Pineapple-Pepper Relish.
I’m a big fan of all kinds of fish as it is, and I tend to go through phases. I’ll tell you about the wonderful sea bass, orange roughy and grouper phases I went through.
Back to the tilapia, this is a recipe that I found a few months ago and made it about 2-3 times since. It’s pretty good and I’ve found it pretty easy to modify depending on my mood.
Enjoy.
Cilantro-Chipotle Tilapia
* 1 1/2 cups chopped cilantro
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 1 tablespoon chopped canned chipotles in adobo
* 1 tablespoon water
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
* 4 (6-ounces) tilapia fillets
Preheat broiler.
Purée cilantro, oil, chiles with some adobo sauce, water, cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a blender until smooth, then coat fish with sauce.
Line rack of a broiler pan with foil, then broil fish 3 to 4 inches from heat until just cooked through, 6 to 9 minutes.

Ah, but you see, you like the spicy, whereas I do not. 🙂 I’ll pass on the recipe, though – I know a few people who I think would like it. Thanks!
