Great Grilled Tilapia

Jer made this for me last week. We have a lot of tilapia because of it being on sale at Meijer and we have had the broiled tilapia that Shelley posted on here a few too many times, so we tried this - and it was GREAT!! Here is the original recipe, we didn't make the salsa, just the marinade. Yummy!

2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley (we used dried)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoon dried basil
2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

4 tilapia fillets

Mix together the marinade ingredients and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the tilapia fillets and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour. (We only did 1/2 hr and it was still great!) Grill the fillets until the fish is no longer translucent in the center, and flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
