Question:

How can I make my tilapia not so soggy/mushy after baking?

I don't want it hard or over cooked but it always seems to break up and get mushy!!! Any tips?

Answer:

Cher's Char-grilled Oven Brisket: 1? days 20 min prep 8-10 servings 6-10 lbs beef brisket, trimmed of fat 1 (16 ounce) bottle stubs beef marinade 1 (12 ounce) can beer, of your choice 1Trim as much fat as possible from brisket 2Place in a large roasting pan (I buy the aluminum throw aways) 3Pour entire bottle of Stubs marinade and beer over brisket 4Marinade the brisket in the fridge at least 24 hours, turning once or twice 5When you're ready to cook (early the next day) remove the brisket from the marinade and place on a very hot outdoor grill 6Sear brisket on both sides till it almost appears blackened (this will not hurt the flavor, only intensifies the juices while baking) 7Discard remaining marinade 8Place char-grilled brisket on heavy duty foil and wrap very tightly (I actually wrap the brisket twice to avoid losing too much of the juices) 9Place in a 250 degree oven and bake for 7 hours 10Remove the brisket from foil and let rest in its own juices for at least 20 minutes before slicing 11Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce - if desired, however, the pan juices spooned over the brisket is out of this world.

Yes you can, but its very trickyIt needs to be at a low, constant temp for a very long timeIn the past I have used a seperate grill like a small hibachi to burn charcoal down to embersWhen the grill with the meat starts cooling off, shovel the coals from the other grill into ittrying to maintain a constant heat levelIt takes a little practice, but it is so worth it to cook a brisket this wayGood luck!!
Try boiling, but don't over cookTalapia Parmesan: 8 servings 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup butter, softened 3 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon dried basil 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon onion powder 1/8 teaspoon celery salt 2 pounds tilapia fillets Preheat your oven's broilerGrease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juiceSeason with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery saltMix well and set aside Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared panBroil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutesRemove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top sideBroil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a forkBe careful not to over cook the fish.
