Sabrina’s Grilled Tilapia Recipe

Freshly fish is a wonderful dinner option for outdoor cooking when the weather is warm. Grilled Tilapia is especially great to make if you’re trying to eat healthier. It’s a low-fat white fish that’s high protein, but with a mild flavor that isn’t fishy so most people love it! By preparing the tilapia on the grill, you get a light smoky flavor that’s slightly crisp on the outside, while the inside stays sweet and succulent. If you want a break from chicken this summer, be sure to try this delicious fish out!
