  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
  • 2   garlic cloves, pressed
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) All-Purpose Dill Mix
    Vegetables and Tilapia

Directions

  1. Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat. For vinaigrette, whisk together ingredients in Small Batter Bowl; set aside.

  3. Season tilapia with salt, dill mix and black pepper; lightly spray with olive oil. Grill tilapia, covered, 3 minutes or until grill marks appear. Turn tilapia over using BBQ Jumbo Turner; grill 3-4 minutes or until tilapia flakes easily with a fork.

Cook's Tips:

The Julienne Peeler makes quick work of cutting vegetables into thin strips. Use julienne-cut vegetables as a fresh, colorful side dish.

Though originally hailing from Africa, tilapia are currently farm-raised worldwide for their slightly sweet flavor and fine texture. Tilapia is firm enough to hold up to grilling. Salmon can be substituted for the tilapia, if desired.

For vinaigrette, 1/4 tsp (1 mL) dried dill weed can be substituted for the All-Purpose Dill Mix. For tilapia, 1/4 tsp (1 mL) dried dill weed can be substituted for the dill mix.
