A friend brought a similar recipe to a potluck, and we enjoyed it so much that I knew I needed to make it at home! It has a nice, light flavor that doesn't overwhelm the fish. We have made this both by baking it in the oven and by putting it over a campfire and checking it periodically, removing it when the fish flakes easily. Also - I don't add salt to my dishes, so you may want to add some if you think you would prefer it that way.
Ingredients:
4 tilapia fillets
1/2 teaspoon paprika
cayenne pepper, to taste
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
4 slices lemons
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
4 stalks fresh rosemary
Directions:
1. Sprinkle paprika and cayenne pepper on both sides of the tilapia fillets.
2. Place each slice of lemon in a piece of foil, large enough that it can be folded to fully cover the fish. Add garlic to each of the four.
3. Top each lemon slice with a piece of fish and tomatoes.
4. Add a stalk of fresh rosemary to each foil pack and seal foil. Place in a baking dish (to catch any juices that might escape during cooking).
5. Preheat oven to 350F and bake 15-20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily.
