The combination of lime and basil really adds flavor to the Tilapia. This dish can either be eaten along with grilled vegetables or sliced and served in tacos.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 23 minutes
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients:
  • 4 tilapia fillets (about 1 pound)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • zest of 2 limes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced
  • 2 teaspoons bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients except for the tilapia fillets in a resealable plastic bag. Turn to mix and add tilapia fillets. Seal and refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat grill.
