Ingredients

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon mustard powder
4 tilapia filets

Instructions

Prepare the marinade by whisking together 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon mustard powder.
Pour the marinade into a large sealable bag or container and place 4 tilapia filets into the container. If using frozen be sure they are thawed before you marinate.
Marinate the tilapia 30 minutes to an hour. While the filets are marinating, preheat a grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once the tilapia filets are ready, remove them from the marinade. Brush the grill with olive oil and grill the filets for 4-6 minutes per side. The filets should easily come off the grill, if they are sticking give them another 1-2 minutes.
Remove the grilled tilapia from the grill and serve!
