We started eating fish a lot more when we moved to Hawaii a little over three years ago. Before that, the extent of my fish eating repertoire was mostly tuna salad and the occasional shrimp dish, which I usually preferred deep fried! Since then, I’ve gotten to try so many tasty and delicious kinds of fish, and I’m proud to say that I even enjoy “poke,” a raw fish salad that’s hugely popular here in Hawaii!
Now that I’ve grown to love fish so much, it’s become a frequent staple on our dinner table. My kids even enjoy it, and that makes dinner time a lot easier and less stressful when they’re on board with what we’re eating. One of my favorite types of fish to prepare is tilapia thanks to its mild flavor, and the fact that it lends itself well to different toppings and flavors.
As much as I enjoy fish, though, sometimes it’s not always so simple to prepare. You have to make sure it’s cooked just right (no over or undercooked fish, please!) and if you buy it fresh, it needs to be cooked soon after buying or else it will spoil.
After dealing with these kinds of issues before and feeling discouraged, I was really excited to discover the new Bumble Bee SuperFresh® line of frozen fish! It’s a complete line of naturally-seasoned, restaurant quality, “fish-forward” prepared seafood solutions for the home. It really raises the bar for what seafood lovers can expect from frozen food! They have all different kinds of fish to choose from including salmon, ahi tuna, and my personal favorite, tilapia.
Seriously y’all, never has it been so easy to enjoy a delicious, premium tilapia fillet! This Bumble Bee SuperFresh® Tilapia is made with ground black pepper, fresh garlic, sea salt, and extra virgin olive oil—making every flaky bite fantastic. I made it into bruschetta tilapia by adding my favorite bruschetta on top along with a balsamic glaze, and it made for a healthy and super yummy dinner.
One of the things I like best about the Bumble Bee SuperFresh® seafood is that it’s no mess, and no fuss. Their premium Salmon and Tilapia come with their own parchment paper baking pouches and go from freezer to table in under 25 minutes. They’re high in protein, and seasoned with pure and simple ingredients that let the fish shine through. That’s one of the things I loved most about this dish; simple, yet versatile and delicious flavors.
You can find Bumble Bee SuperFresh® in the frozen seafood section, typically near the seafood counter, at your local grocery store. Click here to find what stores carry it in your area.
Hope you enjoy this Bruschetta Tilapia, y’all!

Put on toasted texas toast then mashed potatoes topped with the tender flavorful roast. Open face one full meal deal. Stretches the family budget without compromising taste and so easy. Great recipe. Thanks. I make poor boy steaks (thin burger patties dipped in egg wash and ruched butter round crackers. Stretches the meat budget & great wi th h mashed potatoes & gravy, like cheap chicken fried steak & oh so good. Another special is mystery stew. It’s a spoon or two of whatever leftovers from the week. All kinds of vegies, meats. Etc. Miced with a c as n of tomato sauce & that magic rotel. Add broth to thin as desired.) Essentially I ziplock any little leftovers and make a great stew for pennies & leftovers . Food to precious to waste a bite these days and everyone asks for it. Great fo when that cold season needs a good warm stew. Throw together in the crockpot and magic happens. I get a extra pride knowing that little leftover I zip locked & froze is always there for a virtually free supper. You just can’t buy soup like that ready made. Experiment but just start keeping the spoon of this & that if feel like needs more a can of mixed veggies works beautifully. We had a large family that no matter the budget our dinner table was blessed with plenty of food. I’m so thankful for recipes of leftovers. Christmas dinner becomes many versions of turkey & dumplings, Turkey sandwiches, turkey salads, ( chef type usually) , turkey spinach pizza, turkey dips, & on & on. My kids never even thought about how good it was for them because it was so good. So freeze any leftovers & mark for mystery stew. I cube meats before I freeze so it’s a dump and done when I make it. Catch a cold. In goes some stew. Any meats. G beef, ham, chops, chicken. Steak, roast, even fish. Sometimes add noodles or rice. Just go for it. Nothing to lose except the scraps. Lol๐
I am trying this with fresh tilapia fish.
My own Balsamic Glaze recipe I use I think has some sugar into it, not sure if other ingredients due to having to find my recipe now.
Would the sugar in the Balsamic Glaze change the it so It doesn’t go the the Bruschetta in this recipe. I do love balsamic glaze on many items. I am looking forward to making this fish dish but not sure what to do now. Making this tonight. I might half the sugar in my glaze recipe that I love. If I get a chance I will post my comments.
I make bruschetta all the time in the summer but never thought to put it on fish. Such a great idea.
This is such a light and fresh summer dinner!
I haven’t tried Bumble Bee SuperFreshยฎ Tilapia – and seeing I’m drooling over here, I need to me hands on some pronto! That accompanying bruschetta makes this look irresistible!
