Tear the foil into 6 equal pieces for each tilapia filet. Place a tilapia filet on each piece of foil.
Preheat the grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F). Make sure to oil the grill grates before adding the tilapia foil packs to the grill.
Drizzle the olive oil over each filet and sprinkle each one with approximately 1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning.
Place directly on the grill for 8-10 minutes until the tilapia reaches an internal temperature for 145 degrees F. Flip the tilapia foil packs halfway through the cooking time (cook about 4-5 minutes per side).
Be careful when unwrapping the foil packets and then the tilapia is ready to enjoy!

Variations Ideas

Grill other Fish - If you like grilling fish in foil, try making salmon, cod, and haddock.
Use Frozen Tilapia - If you are short on time, you can grill Tilapia even if its frozen. Just add a little bit more time when grilling.
Add Vegetables - You can add vegetables to the foil pack and have a complete meal.
Change the Seasoning - Use garlic powder or a seasoning blend that you have.

Best Seasoning for Tilapia

When seasoning tilapia there are many options. Lemon Pepper seasoning is a perfect seasoning for Tilapia but here are some other options to try:

Smoked Paprika - Smoked Paprika offers a little bit more smokey flavor than regular paprika. It can easily be found in the grocery store. Sprinkle on the Tilapia with the added olive oil and it will turn out so tasty.
Onion Powder - We like to add onion powder with the lemon pepper seasoning to give it more of an onion flavor.
Season Salt - We like using seasoning blends to the Tilapia to change the flavor.
