Grilled Stuffed Tilapia Recipe

Grilled Stuffed Tilapia is like your typical grilled whole fish except that it is stuffed with delicious veggies inside. It is simple, easy-to-cook, delicious, and totally Filipino. I enjoyed having it with a dip of spicy toyomansi (ponzu).

Ingredients

Measured from the catalog payload.

  • 1 tilapia scales and gut removed cleaned
  • 1 plum tomato cubed
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallion
  • 1 yellow onion cubed
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

7 cooking steps

  1. Rub 1 1/2 teaspoons salt all over the fish. Set aside.
  2. Combine the tomato, onion, scallions, garlic powder, ginger, lemon juice, pepper, and remaining salt in a bowl. Mix well.
  3. Stuff the mixture in the cavity of the tilapia.
  4. Heat-up the grill. Once the grill is ready, spray a little cooking oil on both sides of the tilapia. This will prevent the skin of the fish from sticking on the grill.
  5. Grill each side of the tilapia for 10 to 12 minutes.
  6. Remove from the grill and arrange in a serving plate. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
  7. Share and enjoy!
