Grilled Tilapia with Garlic-Parmesan Polenta

Planning in advance,  I wanted to have a seafood dish this week that was quick to make on a Thursday night.  This one definitely was.  The polenta was quite easy to make.  I didn’t select a quick cooking polenta at the store though.  I bought Bob’s Red Mill coarse grind corn meal.  I like my polenta to have some nice texture.  I boiled milk, added the corn meal in a nice thin stream with a whisk (succesful at having zero lumps!)  I added some garlic to the polenta as well.  I wanted a bit more flavor than the parmesan and polenta would provide. 

Tilapia was much smaller than normal.  Each piece was about 4 ounces this time around.  I bought four at the seafood counter.  Lately, they’ve been twice as big.  I would have split larger ones into two plates.  The 4 ounce filets were a perfect size.  Be sure to leave your fish out for a few minutes before you cook.  I like to cook fairly slow so that seafood doesn’t dry out.  You have to be a bit more careful when you’re grilling.
