Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 8 slices Bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Fresh pineapple, diced
- 1 cup Mango, diced
- 0.5 cup Strawberries, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Lime, juiced
- 1 piece Jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
Brush each tilapia fillet with olive oil and season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Wrap each tilapia fillet with 2 slices of bacon, ensuring they cover the entire piece. Use toothpicks to secure the bacon if needed.
Place the bacon-wrapped tilapia on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is grilling, prepare the fresh fruit salsa. In a medium bowl, combine diced pineapple, mango, strawberries, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño (if using). Mix well and set aside.
Once the tilapia is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve each bacon-wrapped tilapia fillet with a generous scoop of fresh fruit salsa on top or on the side. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
