Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Place the tilapia fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the fish is evenly coated. Cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Fish

    Remove the tilapia from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Place the fillets on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.

  3. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the grilled tilapia to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
