As much as I enjoy a good steak or plate of chicken wings, it’s nice to enjoy lighter protein options every so often too. Tilapia is a surprisingly versatile white fish, but has a reputation for being somewhat bland because it isn’t as flavorful on its own compared to something like salmon, or dry, because it can be easy to overcook.
