Grilled Tilapia topped with Herbs and Wrapped in Prosciutto
Method:
Separate your Tilapia fillets down the center vertically and pat them dry.
Top Tilapia with a bit of fresh cracked pepper, a mixture of fresh chopped herbs and some grated Parmesan cheese. Here I used Sage, Thyme and Oregano (in that order most to least) ~ DO NOT SALT ~ the prosciutto will add enough salt content!
Take a piece of prosciutto and lay it out flat on a plate.
Place your herb topped tilapia towards one end of the prosciutto.
Snugly wrap the prosciutto around the tilapia tucking in the herbs underneath as necessary, spray a bit of cooking spray on both sides.
Preheat your grill (or grill pan until hot) and place your prosciutto wrapped tilapia presentation side down first and cook for about 3-4 minutes undisturbed (you may rotate at the half point if you are looking for crisscross grill marks.)
Flip your fish over and cook an additional 2 minutes just to crisp the prosciutto on the other side and complete the cooking. We served with a Bow Tie Caprese Pasta Salad and a Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce on the side - AMAZING SUMMER DISH!

This looks wonderful!
How a propos to see a tilapia recipe, given what will be happening between jennsfoodjourney and me in he next couple of days. Stay tuned.
I just happen to have a supply of tilapiia in the freezer (on sale so I stocked up). This sounds great.
OMG, I started laughing when I saw this as in "OMG, could this look anymore delicious!". This sounds and look like a winning combination, girl!

Great idea to wrap the fish prosciutto! This is a must try!
I LOVE this... what a wonderful way to dress up tilapia!
WOW... what a terrific blog. First time here, but I will be back
I made something similar a while back, sole and prosciutto...what a great combination, the sweetness of the fish and the saltiness of the cured meat, no?

Just when I thought we'd tried nearly every way to grill Tilapia possible! Thanks to Larry @BBQGrail for suggesting your blog!
The texture and appearance of this grilled tilapia was appealing, it was very salty.I forgot that the prosciutto will add enough salt content
