Pan-Grilled Tilapia with Lemon and Red Onion Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Pan-Grilled Tilapia with Lemon and Red Onion Recipe). This recipe came from necessity, as I was so very hungry, sick of chicken, and I didn't want to turn on the oven. My diet is pretty specific right now so this was easy and delicious low-carb lunch when served with a salad. Greek salad with pink grapefruit added really brought out the flavor blend, and fits well with the Mayo Clinic Diet of adding grapefruit to each meal of meat or fish and salad or veggies. I made a single serving so I am leaving it to the maker to multiply.
