Cedar Tilapia

I adapted this recipe for the grill. The original recipe came from my sister. It's quick, easy, and delicious.

Cedar Tilapia



Prep Time: 10-20 minutes
Time to Marinade: 1 hour (soaking time for the cedar wraps)
Grill Time: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients:
1.5 Pounds - Tilapia
1 - Large egg
1 Tbs. - Water
1/4 Cup - Olive oil
1/2 Cup - Grated Parmesan

Spices:
Sea Salt - To Taste
Pepper - To Taste

Other items:
Cedar Wraps - (Soaked for approx. 1 hour)
Butcher String - (Soaked for a few minutes)

Directions:

1.) Preheat grill to medium heat. If you are using cedar wraps, don't forget to soak them for ~1 hour.

2.) Mix egg, water, and olive oil.

3.) Dip each tilapia fillet one by one into the egg mixture. Remove and LIGHTLY sprinkle both sides with pepper and sea salt. Add a generous amount of grated parmasean to both sides of the fillet.

4.) Wrap fillets in the cedar wraps (one or two per wrap) and tie off with butcher string.
