Change of Seasons: Grilled Tilapia Packets with Tomato Arugula Cous Cous

I always tell people that there are two seasons in Florida: 1) summer; and 2) Oh, My God, It’s Hot! We have definitely transitioned into the second season around here.

  3. Scott, have you ever tried cedar grilling papers? I've always wanted to give them a shot but I don't eat seafood frequently.

  4. I've played with cedar planks before, but I've never heard of cedar papers. I'm curious: do you wrap the food in it (like parchment) or do you throw it on the fire to create smoke?

  5. A perfect summer meal! We don't ever get the OMGIH out here, but I'm lucky to be able to use my grill year round. Thanks for the post!

    Similar to how you cooked with foil, but an additional layer of flavor.

    If you try it, blog about it. I want to hear how it turns out.

  8. Oh sure, Ed - make me the guinea pig.

    They look interesting, but I think the cedar planks would be more cost effective - you can use them over again. The cedar paper looks a little one-use-and-gone to me...

  9. :D

    I didn't know you could reuse planks. In that case, I agree.

  10. There is nothing better than cooking fish in little packets. I love these recipes. I love tilapia, because its sort of like chicken, it can take on any flavor. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

  11. I'm with Ed. The tilapia looks beautiful just as it is, but if you do use the cedar grilling paper, let me know if you like it. :)

  12. Delicious! Tilipia, tomatoes and couscous is a fantastic combo; it was one of the first ways I ever cooked tilapia. On the grill sounds even better!
