Grilled Tilapia with Fruit Salsa

- ½ cup crushed pineapple or pineapple chunks cut up
- ½ cup fresh diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup diced sweet onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Splash of lemon juice (about ½ tbsp)
- Splash of lime juice (about ½ tbsp)
- Fresh cilantro or about 1 tsp dried
- Fresh parsley or about 1 tsp dried
- Pinch or two of salt
- Tilapia fillets (I used 3)
Mix all the ingredients (except the tilapia of course) in a small bowl to make the salsa. Lay the tilapia fillets on aluminum foil and top with salsa. Fold the foil to make packets and refrigerate for at least an hour before cooking.
I only had 3 fillets so I put them all in on big packet and grilled for 5-6 minutes. That’s all it took.
As for the points it really depends on your tilapia fillets. I count them as a point an ounce and the salsa is only a point for the pineapple. Not bad! I served it with grilled zucchini and a baked sweet potato.

Is Tilipia really fishy? I’m not a big fan of seafood, but your recipes look really good? I hear Mahi Mahi isn’t real fishy. Any one know? Thanks.

Summer food seems more interesting that winter food. Your recipe has a good set of flavors that are refreshing!

What does Tilapia taste like? Does it have a strong fish taste? It looks really good and I’m tempted to try t…but I’m not a big fish person. ;-)

I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicous. The kids and hubby loved it and I liked the quick recipe and easy clean up with the foil packets. Thanks, Roni!!!

Roni, this sounds awesome! Do you think it could be baked in the oven, though? My grill is non-functional at the moment.

@rapunzel - Sure it can! Just put the foil packet in the oven for a few minutes. That’s what I would do if it was raining like the salmon foil recipes… http://weightwatchen.com/2007/04/25/bell-pepper-and-salmon-foil-packets/
