Tilapia, trout and halibut: grilled to perfection!



Tilapia 

The firm pink flesh of tilapia turns a smooth milky colour when cooked. Moist and delicate, tilapia has a mild, slightly sweet flavour, which makes it very versatile as it absorbs the flavour of any added spice or herb.

Grilled Fish

This method consists in cooking a marinated or oil-brushed fish on the grill or on a serrated cast-iron pan.

  • If the fish has not been marinated, brush with oil and season. 

  • For whole fish, slash the skin in two or three places on each side and brush with olive oil. Turn the fish midway through cooking and baste with oil to prevent it from drying out.
  • Grill one side, then the other on a very hot grill or cast-iron pan.

  • Grill fillets skin side down: the skin will protect the delicate flesh and can easily be removed after cooking.


  • Bring out flavour by marinating the fish a few minutes before cooking. Grill on medium heat and don’t forget to oil both grill and fish
