3. Coat frying pan with oil and fry the fish on both side until done. If desired, you can place the lemon slices in the pan before putting the fillets on top to caramelized a little bit, without cooking it.

*This tilapia recipe goes well with Sauteed Brussels Sprouts and Carrots. 

*Note: If you chose to grill the fish instead of frying, replace step 3 by coating a wire grilling basket with cooking spray. Arrange lemon slices on top of each fish fillet (If desired, add salt and pepper to your taste). Place fish in the basket, grill over medium, hot coals 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Turn often, discard grilled lemon slices.
