Bacon-Wrapped Tilapia
- Olive oil spray
- 2 (about 4 ounces each) or 4 (about 2 ounces each) tilapia fillets
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- 4 slices center-cut bacon
Instructions:
The flavor is much stronger than turkey bacon and doesn’t have that turkey aftertaste many brands of turkey bacon do.
- Preheat the broiler. Line a small baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil. Lightly mist the foil with spray.
- If using 2-ounce fillets, stack them in pairs, smooth sides together, creating 2 4-ounce “fillets.” Season both sides of each fillet with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Starting at the narrower end of one of the fillets (or fillet couplings), wrap 2 of the bacon strips around the tilapia so they cover as much surface area of the fish as possible. Repeat with the remaining fillet (or fillet coupling) and bacon.
- Broil until the bacon is cooked and the fish flakes easily, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
