Preheat the Griddle: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. You want it to be hot enough to cook the tilapia quickly and create a nice sear.
Season the Tilapia: Season both sides of the tilapia fillets with your preferred seasonings. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and herbs works well. You can also use a marinade if you prefer.
Oil the Griddle: Brush the griddle surface with a thin layer of olive oil or melted butter to prevent the fish from sticking.
Cook the Tilapia: Place the seasoned tilapia fillets onto the hot griddle. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and easily flake with a fork. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
Add Lemon Juice: During the last minute of cooking, you can drizzle lemon juice over the fillets for a burst of flavor.
Serve: Once the tilapia is cooked through, carefully remove it from the griddle and transfer it to a serving plate.
Optional Sides: You can serve the tilapia with your choice of sides, such as rice, vegetables, or a fresh salad.
