We eat a lot of Tilapia. Our favourite way to cook it is to coat it in egg and flour and then fry it in a LITTLE bit of butter (just enough to give it flavour and to keep it from sticking to the pan). Sprinkle with lemon pepper while it's frying. It cooks very quickly.
However, hubby's having cholesterol problems right now, so we've changed the recipe. Actually it's what we're having for supper tonight. I chop up lots of onions and cover the bottom of a casserole dish with a layer of onions. Then I just lay the fish on top, then cover the fish with the rest of the onions. Then bake, but I don't know how long...usually 20-30 minutes at 350 will do, you just have to test and see if the fish is cooked. This recipe is much healthier, and the onions infuse the fish with lots of flavour; then you can just salt-and-pepper to taste.

BTW, my sister-in-law cooks salmon this way (with the layers of onions). She wraps it (the fish and onions) in foil, which is so much easier to clean! She also makes a white sauce to go on top, which is so yummy. But we find that the tilapia is flavourful enough that we don't need the sauce (again, watching the cholesterol!)

We don't use butter for preparing any of our fish or seafood dishes at home. (I will have a great seafood dish in a restaurant if it happens to have a bit of butter.)
I'm more used to Asian style of steaming fish. Which is quite healthy, fast and would use little oil. Fresh ginger roots slices and green onion when steamed is meant to take away the fishy taste. There is abit of soy sauce.
The fish comes out quite tender. It can be done with fillets, fish steaks, etc.

I use my granddad's recipe for oven-grilling fish -- though he used butter and I use olive oil. And he probably used a real grill and I use the oven.
Anyway, put the fish on a heavy pan (I have an Armatelle pan), drizzle with oil, lots of garlic, some thyme or dill, depending on the fish, a little paprika, and it's done in about 7-8 minutes. You don't have to turn it.
I only buy wild caught fish and never farm-raised. Salmon, tuna, and rock fish (striped bass) are our faves, but occasionally tilapia.
However...I've noticed recently that if I eat fish for dinner, I often don't sleep very well. My sister's theory is that fishermen sprinkle sulphides on the fish when they're out on the boat.

I LOVE tilapia... it's a white fish, which I prefer. And, it's reasonable. I buy them in the individually wrapped packages and take a couple out for DH and myself, to make a meal. I rinse the pieces off, cover them with Lantana seasoning, pan fry them in olive oil, roasted sesame seed oil, or grapeseed oil. While they are browning, I squeeze a lemon or line on both of them, then fry the leftover lemon or lime. Oh man, it is so good, esp. with steamed broccoli and brown rice.
