For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of smoked paprika. If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates and cook the tilapia over medium heat for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Fresh parsley can be substituted for dried, using about 1 tablespoon minced. Serve immediately with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a simple salad.
