• 4 pieces tilapia fish
• 2 tablespoons groundnut oil
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 1 tablespoon garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 pieces fresh tomatoes

Method

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine groundnut oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, ground pepper, lemon juice, and salt to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Make diagonal cuts on both sides of each tilapia fish to allow the marinade to penetrate.

3. 3

   Rub the marinade generously all over the tilapia, ensuring it gets into the cuts. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Preheat the grill or barbecue to medium heat. If using charcoal, allow the coals to turn white.

5. 5

   Place the marinated tilapia on the grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

6. 6

   While grilling, baste the fish with any leftover marinade for extra flavor, if desired.

7. 7

   Once cooked, remove the tilapia from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

8. 8

   Serve the grilled tilapia garnished with fresh tomatoes and enjoy with your favorite side dish.
