Baking in foil is an excellent way to prepare fish because the foil traps the delicate flavors. While grilling can also be a great option, foil-prepared dishes tend to pack in more overall flavor. This low-calorie tilapia recipe is also a good source of lean protein. Serve this fish with vegetables and a side of carbohydrates.
