Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Lemon slices and fresh herbs for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).
- Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix together the avocado oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme. Brush this mixture over both sides of the tilapia fillets. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. Place the tilapia fillets on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
- Remove the tilapia from the grill and place onto a serving platter. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Grill Prep: Make sure the grill is properly preheated and the grates are oiled with avocado oil to prevent sticking.
Cooking Time: Pay close attention to cooking times as fish cooks quickly and can easily become dry if overcooked.
