GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED TILAPIA & FRESH FRUIT SALSA #RSC



Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Tilapia & Fresh Fruit Salsa #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. I love this recipe because it really reflects what my family and I love about of summer. Fresh flavors, vibrant colors, the sweet fruits of the summer harvest, juicy, succulent, and surprisingly filling, mixed with the clear, cool water taste of a white fleshed fish fillet, and the smokey flavor of apple wood smoked bacon. Grilled on charcoal, how can you go wrong? Yum! I am sad to see summer leaving but this, grilled on a warm autumn day will make reminisce of those wonderful days of BBQ's with friends and family. For a refreshing drink to to have along side, a freshly made lime margarita or a tall glass of iced tea, or for the children limeade. Complete the meal with pieces of grilled watermelon for a light and interesting dessert! I hope you enjoy!

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 Fish Fillets with about 1/2 cup salsa each, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Reynolds Wrap Foil
4 large unfrozen tilapia fillets
8 slices apple wood smoked bacon
1 dash pepper
1 dash garlic powder
1 lime, halved
2 large fresh yellow peaches
1 small sweet onion
1 small red bell pepper
1 teaspoon honey
salt and pepper
1 bunch fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For the Salsa: Find the butt of the peach and slice the peach all the way around the pit. Twist to release the flesh from the pit, and remove the pit from the other half of the flesh by prying it loose with a spoon. Do this with the other peach and set aside.
  • Mince the onion and the red bell pepper and pour them in a medium sized bowl. Chop the peach halves into bite sized pieces and pour in with the onion and pepper. Squeeze the juice from one of the lime halves over the peaches, onion, and peppers, followed by the honey, and season to taste with the salt and pepper. Mince the cilantro and add to taste. Mix thoroughly, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes, at least.
  • For the Tilapia Fillets: Ready the grill with enough charcoal to burn around 375 to 425 degrees for at least 30 - 45 minutes. Accumulate charcoal to be sure that the heat is concentrated mostly in the middle.
  • Wrap the tilapia fillets in two slices of bacon a peice, drizzle with lime juice from the other half the sliced lime, to taste. Season to taste with pepper and garlic powder. Place the tilapia fillets onto a sheet of Reynolds Wrap Alluminum Foil. Fold the wrap in half, longway, fold one side over the other to create a seal. Turn and fold the open sides to create two more seals.
  • Place indirect from the heat on the charcoal grill, seal side up and grill until the fish fillets are flakey and the bacon is thoroughly cooked, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat and let set a moment before opening.
  • Top the fillets with fresh peach salsa and close the wrap to warm the salsa through but not to cook. Serve in the alluminum foil on a large plate with grilled sliced seasoned tomatoes and a grilled flour tortilla. Garnish with more peach salsa and a sprig of cilantro.

CRISPY BACON WRAPPED STUFFED TILAPIA #RSC



Crispy Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Tilapia #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. I made this recipe for my hubby because he doesn't care much for fish (unless it's breaded and fried). I wanted him to eat a variety of proteins other than just steak and pork, and figured he wouldn't turn down the fish if it had bacon with it. He loved it. ^_^

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F; line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil and cut off an additional 4 squares of foil to make fish packets.

  • Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper; lay one fillet on each foil square and grate the lemon zest over each.
  • Close up packets and arrange on a prepared baking sheet; bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.

BAKED FRESH WHOLE TILAPIA #RSC



Baked Fresh Whole Tilapia #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. Tilapia is a fine fish, delicious, healthy and reasonable. If you agree with that, then you should try fresh, live swimming tilapia, it is simply heavenly. In high-end restaurants, Tilapia is typically served whole and filleted in the dinning room in front of the patrons. I decided to do the same. There is a store where live fish can be bought here in NYC. I choose red Tilapia because the color has more plate appeal. Tilapia has a sweet earthy flavor and mild and a firm, flaky texture. However, the earthy flavor can taste muddy to some. This recipe is designed to transform this earthy flavor into something that is subtlety gracious. The heavy duty non-stick Reynolds wrap is to create a cooking environment that will cook the fish quickly at very high heat, at the same time giving a little smoky flavor and making the skin very crispy. BTW, each 16 oz of whole tilapia is 5 oz of meat after filleted. The plating of this dish shows one serving.

LEMON GRILLED WHOLE TILAPIA WITH GRILLED BELL PEPPER SALSA #RSC



Lemon Grilled Whole Tilapia With Grilled Bell Pepper Salsa #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. I like grilling my fish with a "protective layer" of lemon because it ensures that the fish will not dry out, and the lemon will prevent the fish from burning on the grill. I find grilling fish this way foolproof, and good for first-time whole fish grilling. I personally prefer cooking fish whole because the flavor of the fish is much better than eating it filleted. A lot of the fish's flavor comes from its bones and head. The grilled bell pepper salsa is inspired by mexican salsa and italian roasted bell peppers. Dip your bread of choice and enjoy!

Categories     Mixer

Time 1h

Yield 2 fishes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 whole tilapia (gutted, fins clipped and cleaned very, very well, can substitue 4 tilapia fillets)
7 garlic cloves (smash 2 cloves, finely chop 5 cloves)
1 pint cherry tomatoes (one box)
2 lemons, sliced into semicircles
1 small onion, sliced (use the yellow kind)
1 large yellow bell pepper, halved, seeds and veins removed
1 large red bell pepper, halved, seeds and veins removed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon hot sauce, used for brushing, I used Sriracha in this recipe, but any will do
1 sprig fresh rosemary
salt and pepper
Reynolds Wrap Foil

Steps:

  • Clean your fish, AGAIN. Rinse well from the market, make sure that all the nasty bits are gone- gills, intestines and all.
  • Make 2 slits on each side, and salt your fish liberally inside and both sides outside.
  • STUFF EACH FISH with 5 pinched grape tomatoes (pinch with fingers so juices come out!), one clove of smashed/sliced garlic, 1/4 of sliced yellow onion and 2 lemon slices. (If using fillets, you should have the stuffing sandwiched between two fillets).
  • Lay out the fish on a piece of aluminum foil, and place lemon slices on each side, using half a lemon per side. (if using fillets, place lemon slices outside the "fillet sandiwich").
  • Wrap it in aluminum foil, sealing it shut, but don't overdo it. You need to be able to release the fish in one piece, with the lemons intact! Set aside.
  • Make a "tray" with sides, using aluminum foil.
  • Clean peppers, remove veins and seeds. Brush with hot sauce (my default is Sriracha, but use whatever you have available), place inside foil.
  • Put the rest of the cherry tomatoes in the foil tray, season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat your grill. I use a gas grill, and this was set to medium heat. (Sorry, I don't know how to grill over charcoal.).
  • Place your two fish packs and "vegetable tray" on the grill. Let the onions grill directly, so just place them wherever there is space. Cover the grill.
  • While the fish cooks, heat up 1/4 cup of olive oil then roughly chop garlic into small pieces. Once hot, reduce fire to low and add rosemary sprig. Let it release its oils.
  • Then add the chopped garlic in the pot. Cook the garlic a little, but not burning. About a minute, just for the flavor to bloom. Turn it off, and keep it in the pan.
  • After 12-15 mins, one side of the fish is done. The onions and tomatoes will be done as the same time one side is done. You can tell because the tomatoes are oozing on the grill.
  • Cook the other side of the fish for another 12-15 minutes (If this is your first time grilling fish, cook the next side for 12 minutes then turn the grill off. and leave the fish for another 5-7 minutes. Don't worry, the fish wont burn/dry out. The lemon will burn before it burns the fish).
  • Remove onions and tomatoes from the grill. Place in blender. Once the bell peppers are properly grilled (they take a bit longer, depending on size/shape), add them in the blender too.
  • Pulse until you have a semi chunky texture. Turn the heat back on the garlic and olive oil and sautee the mixture in the heat, for another 2-3 minutes until all flavors are incorporated.
  • Plate and enjoy with pita bread/soft taco tortillas or garden salad.
