Mint Grilled Tilapia

Hello everyone!

I had quite a bit of mint around and I was really struggling to find ways to make use of it (I hate throwing things away). Coincidentally, I also had some tilapia and decided to give this a try and I must say I am SO happy with how it turned out. Here's how I did it:

For one average sized fish ( enough for 2 people)



Marinade:
1 heaped tsp mint sauce
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp mixed herbs
sprinkle ground black pepper
light sprinkle of salt (be careful when adding salt because the soy sauce can be quite salty too)
1 tsp chilli powder
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil

Method:

1. Mix all the marinade ingredients together and pour over your prepared and cleaned fish.
2. Rub in the marinade making sure to get it into the fis cavity as well.
3. Cover and leave to rest for 15 minutes. 
4. Lightly grease a grill pan and place the fish onto it.
5. Grill fish for about 20 minutes on either side (depending on how big it is)

Tip: If the fish you are using is quite big, make shallow slits to allow the marinade to get into the fish and also enable even cooking.

I hope you give this a try. This can be done on whole fish as well as deboned fillets if that is what you prefer.
