Cuban Grilled Tilapia
Cuban Grilled Tilapia
This is one of the simplest ways to grill or broil a whole fish. This meal looks and tastes a lot fancier than it really is. Whole tilapia are under $5 each at my local Asian market. They already come cleaned, so no worries when it comes to scaling and gutting. Simply make 3 slits on each side of the fish. Rub down with olive oil and salt. Stuff the slits with lime slices and the cavity with onion, cilantro, and the rest of the lime. The fish can be grilled over charcoal, and even broiled, for 10-15 minutes a side.
Ingredients
- 1 whole tilapia scaled and gutted
