How people cook with it
Tilapia is a versatile fish that can be cooked using many different methods. Its mild flavor makes it a good choice for various cuisines.
- Baked with lemon and herbs
- Pan-seared with garlic butter

To prepare these tilapia fillets, you can thaw them by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or by running them under cold water in a sealed bag. Once thawed, they can be cooked in a variety of ways. Baking is a popular method; simply place the fillets on a baking sheet, season with your favorite spices, and bake until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Pan-searing in a hot skillet with a little oil or butter also works well, creating a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside moist. Ensure the fish is cooked through before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other white fish like cod or haddock, tilapia has a more delicate texture and a milder taste. This makes it less likely to overpower other flavors in a dish. Its uniform thickness also contributes to more even cooking.

How to keep the rest
