For best results, allow the tilapia to marinate in the oil mixture for at least 15 minutes before grilling. If you don't have a grill pan, you can also bake the tilapia in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes. Feel free to adjust the amount of smoked paprika to your preference. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the oil mixture. Serve with grilled vegetables, rice, or a refreshing salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
