This recipe is adapted from a similar one I saw on The Cooking Channel. Of course, I had to add my own “twist”. If you love Tilapia and have not grilled it you are in for a treat! Don’t be intimidated by the number of ingredients – each one delivers it own special layer of flavor and makes this dish fantastic.
