Healthy and Delicious - Tilapia Fish Recipes

By KC Kudra

There are many tilapia fish recipes, each of which offers a slightly different texture and taste. Tilapia is very versatile and there are several recommended cooking methods, baking being one of the best.

Not only are all baked fish recipes delicious but also tilapia is a very healthy fish and an ideal part of a nutritionally balanced diet. Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, which means you can feel free to use tilapia fish recipes with strong sauces. Eating Tilapia, twice a week has various health benefits and this fish is available all year round.

A small piece of salmon contains 158 calories and the same sized piece of tilapia has only 85. The salmon contains 7.9g of fat and the tilapia only 1g for the same sized portion.

Tilapia Fish Recipes - Health Benefits

A small portion of tilapia fish has about half the calories of an equal size piece of salmon. The salmon ways in with a whooping 158 calories, which as said is about double! In addition tilapia contains only 1g of fat compared to 7.9g of fat in the same sized portion of salmon.

Tilapia contains no carbohydrates or fiber. It is low in sodium and a good source of phosphorus and niacin. Tilapia is also a plentiful source of selenium, protein, and vitamin B12. The only negatives are that it is quite high in cholesterol and does not contain healthy omega-3 fatty oils but you can make up for this by consuming oily fish such as mackerel or salmon once or twice a week too.

Tilapia fish recipe nutrients vary depending on how the fish is prepared and cooked and what fats or sauces are added. You can marinate tilapia but you should only marinate it for a short time because else the proteins will be broken down, resulting in mushy fish. Grilling is another cooking method although tilapia does tend to be thin and small, meaning it tears easily if you are not careful. It needs only a few minutes grilling else it might dry out. Tilapia has a delicate taste and suits most seasonings. Grilling is a healthy way of cooking tilapia. You might want to grill a whole fish with some seasoning added or you might want to marinate it first.

You can use a baked tilapia recipe too. You will need to add fat by brushing on some oil or melted butter, to ensure the fish remains moist. This type of fish can dry out easily because there is very little fat content, so using butter or oil has great results.

You might like to place the tilapia on a bed of celery and onion or bake some vegetables with it or some thinly sliced vegetables on top of it to add moisture during cooking. If you want to saute the tilapia, this will also require butter or oil. If you do not want to add extra fats, steaming the tilapia is also a good cooking method.

Tilapia Fish Recipes Using Oil

You can bake or saute tilapia in oil or melted butter. If you would rather use oil, peanut, or sunflower oil are good choices, as they will not change the flavor of the fish. Many other oils will add their taste to the tilapia. Olive oil or canola oil can be used but you will be able to taste the oil flavor as well as the fish. Preparing tilapia with fats is also healthy, since fats are one of the major food groups required for overall good health.

A Recipe For Selling Success and Baja Fish Tacos

By Steve Martinez

Mmmm, there is nothing like a great fish taco on a Sunday afternoon. Particularly, when the taco is a Baja fish taco, made fresh from a great recipe with all the right ingredients. At our house, my wife is often experimenting with Rachel Ray recipes. Rachel Ray has become a favorite of her viewing time on television. The recipe for Rachel's Baja fish tacos delivered excellent results and I highly recommend you try them on a warm summer afternoon with a cold Mexican beer soon.

I shouldn't be too surprised that my fair skinned wife, a Tacoma, Washington native of German heritage could fix the best tasting Baja fish taco I've ever tasted. It wasn't the cook, although I will never tell her this, it was the successful recipe she followed. The same is true with selling. It isn't the salesperson; it is the selling process they follow.

The Recipe For Sales Success

Months ago, I was interviewing a struggling salesperson who was enjoying sales, but didn't like the up and down roller coaster sales results. My goal was to uncover the root of the problem. Following my instincts, we began talking about her selling process only to discover that she didn't have one. We began talking about her successful selling experiences and tracing her steps to the sale. I asked her to carefully retrace each of her sale successes, so I could map them out for her. We did this for several sales to confirm my suspicions. What she didn't realize is that she was following a consultative, solution selling process each time she was successful. Naturally, she was elated to discover her recipe for selling success. We mapped out her selling process like a road map to success, so she wouldn't get lost in difficult selling situations.

As a result of her discovery, she began following her sales process for every sale and her roller coaster ride in sales ended. As her confidence grew, she mastered her selling process. Nothing could get her off track from following the six steps to the sale. She also began applying the magical seventh step of getting referrals, which boosted her success off the charts.

Automating the Selling Process Delivers Greater Results

I lost track of my sales student when she took a new job as sales manager for another company. She would enjoy learning how the Selling Magic selling system automates the process she used to correct her ailing sales. She is a perfect student for the system. She learned that following a recipe for success is better than winging it and she would appreciate the advantage of technology to perform her daily tasks.

It is unfortunate that the business owner of the company she worked for won't return my telephone calls. I want to introduce the Selling Magic selling system to him, so he will never have to worry about a salesperson leaving again. Why, because my automated selling system follows the selling process and is tied to the company not the salesperson. If the salesperson leaves, the system stays and it is the Selling Magic system that follows the selling process. Actually, in many cases a salesperson will find it difficult to leave a selling system that does 80% of the work for them. We invite you to learn more about our selling process and our automated selling system.

Grilled Trout

I am very picky when it comes to eating fish but Grilled trout has become one of my favorite dishes. When choosing a trout find a store that carries fresh trout because the fresher the fish is the better it will taste. Also, smell the meat if it smells fishy then it is not fresh. Usually fish will have some fish smell to it but it won’t be very strong. If the smell knocks you off your feet then it’s not fresh.

Now I am not a person who follows a particular recipe but I will do my best to describe exactly how I cook trout on the grill. I am a charcoal grill kind of guy using hickory wood chips to give the fish a kind of smoke taste. The following is a list of ingredients I use when cooking trout on the grill.

Garlic
Real Butter
Onion
Green pepper
Fresh Trout
Salt & Pepper
Lawry’s Seasoning Salt
Lawry’s Seafood Salt

I start by getting my grill really hot and smoky. While the grill is getting hot take tin foil and make square dishes with 1” sides. You can make 1 dish for each fillet or one big enough to fit two fillets.

Now chop up the garlic into fine pieces. Cut the onion and green pepper into small strips.

Rub a stick of real butter onto the tin foil add the garlic, onion and green pepper and place on the grill.

When the garlic has a light brown tint push garlic, onion and green pepper to the sides add more butter then lay fillet/s in the center. Sprinkle seasoning and seafood salt on the fillets and shut the lid. Barely open the vent on the lid of grill to allow smoke to escape but also to allow the smoke to cover the fish. After about 3 minutes check fish if fish looks white on the edges very carefully flip the fish. Allow 2 to 3mins to cook on other side then remove from grill. ENJOY!
