Ingrediënten
- 4 Tilapia Fillets Each Weighing Around 115grams
- 60 ml Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice
- Zest of 2 Limes
- 1 Tablespoon Freshly Minced Basil
- 2 Teaspoons Bourbon
- 1 Teaspoon Salt

Instructies
- In a resealable plastic bag put the olive oil, lime juice and zest, freshly minced basil, bourbon, salt and pepper.
- Now close the bag up ensuring it is tightly sealed and shake the contents inside vigorously to make sure that they are all mixed together properly.
- Once the marinade is prepared you now need to open the bag up and put the tilapia fillets in and seal the bag once more.
- After doing this turn the bag over several times to ensure that all of the fillets have been coated in the marinade and then place in a refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- When the 30 minutes have elapsed remove the fillets from the bag and pour any marinade left in the bag into a saucepan.
- Whilst the barbecue is heating up you now need to heat the marinade up in the saucepan and then bring it to a low boil.
- As soon as the marinade starts to boil remove from the heat and place to one side.
- Next you need to cook the Tilapia fillets.
- It is important that you cook this fish on a high heat and each side should be cooked for at least 3 minutes.
- As soon as the fish has turned opaque you should remove it from the heat and serve with some of the marinade in the saucepan drizzled over the top.
