Directions
Lemon Grilled Whole Tilapia With Grilled Bell Pepper Salsa #RSC, 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!, This will surely impress at a dinner party!, 5 stars 🙂

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). |

4

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"). |

5

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. |

|
10

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. |
|
12
Done
|
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. |
|
13
Done
|
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. |
|
14
Done
|
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). |
|
15
Done

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. |
