Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 pieces large tilapia cleaned and gutted
  • 2 pieces tomato diced

  • Stuff the mixture inside the cavity of the tilapia. Note: do not overstuff the fish.
  • Meanwhile, combine oil with 1 teaspoon of salt and mix.
  • Brush the oil and salt mixture on the exterior part of the tilapia. Note: The salt adds more taste while the oil prevents the skin to stick on the foil.

  • Grill the wrapped fish for about 12 minutes per side.
  • Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
  • Serve with ensaladang talong and steamed rice.
