Tilapia - how do YOU make yours? Can it be done in a stew?

I'd like to prepare Tilapia for dinner tonight. I usually bake it, but would like to know if it can be done as a stew...like with onions and carrots, and whatever else you might suggest. Ideas and recipes, please. TIA

I made it once with vegetables - carrots, onions, peppers, and a little tomato sauce. I baked it all together in the oven. It was delicious, and it didn't taste fishy.

I made Tilapia wraps for dinner last night.

Eggs and breadcrumbs, then fried the tilapia (I know it's healthier baked).

Mada a veggie mixture of diced avocado, cucumber, tomato, and onion, with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Prepard some ripped-up lettuce.

On whole wheat flour tortillas, I placed 1/2 slice tilapia fillet, a spoonful of avocado mixture, and a couple of lettuce leaves. Wrapped it up blintz style, and sliced it down the middle.

Served with soup as a first course. It was delicous!

I made this recently it was delicious and quick. Season the fillets both sides with salt, pepper, gr coriander and cumin with a dash of paprika. Lightly fry for about 4 min on each side serve over rice or couscous.

Wow, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your wonderful Tilapia recipes. I prepared the fish on top of the stove, combining all the veggies I had on hand, and cooking it in a broth with tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and brown sugar...it was so deeeelicious and enjoyed by all. I'd like to try the tilapia in a wrap as suggested by Chayalle, but need to buy the wraps...
So, for everyone who took the time to help me out, thanks tons! It was greatly appreciated!
