Asian Tilapia Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and garlic together in a bowl. Place the tilapia fillets in the mixture; allow to marinate in refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Remove tilapia from marinade, and discard the marinade. Place fillets into the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle the black pepper over the fish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, sugar, garlic, lime juice, ginger and red pepper flakes in a wide, shallow baking pan that will hold all of the fish in a single layer.
• Stir briefly to dissolve the sugar.
• Add the tilapia, then turn it over so that it's coated all over with the marinade.
• Set aside for 20 min or so.
• Heat the broiler to high, and move the oven rack to position closest to heat.
• Slide the pan into the oven, and broil the fish for 5 minute Keep the oven door ajar so the broiler element stays lit.
• Turn the pan around (back to front), and broil for 5 more minute.
• If the juices in the pan appear to burn, add a little water to the dry spot to prevent burning.
• The fish should be opaque and flaky.
• Spoon the sauce over the fish when serving.

Steps:

• Place fish fillets in a 8x8-inch glass baking dish.
• In a small bowl, combine pineapple, soy sauce and green onion.
• Pour over fish.
• Cover fish with saran wrap; venting on one corner of the dish.
• Microwave on High 6 to 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Sprinkle each side of the fish with salt and pepper.
• Coat a sautée pan with Olive Oil or your favorite cooking oil. I find that a non-stick pan works best for cooking this delicate fish.
• Prepare the glaze by mixing equal parts Hoisin with Soy sauce. The hoisin is thicker and sweeter giving balance to the soy. You won't need that much for glazing the fish so you can use the remainder to toss in with your noodles if you want.
• Brush the tops of each of the fish with the glaze and lay that side down on the pan allowing the glaze to form a seared on crust.
• Brush the other side of the fish with glaze before flipping.
• Each side takes about 4-6 minutes depending on how thick your filet is. I had big meaty ones so total cooking time was about 15 minutes. If you are unsure whether they are done, make a small cut into the the thickest part of the fish. If the cut is easy to make and the fish flakes, then it's done. If it's hard to pierce with a fork or seems tough, give it a few more minutes. You may have to flip the fish in order to keep it from burning if you are cooking thicker pieces and need the extra time. You may also want to cover the pan with a lid and let the steam help you out.
• Serve on a bed of asian noodles or alone. It's sure to be a crowd pleaser for those that enjoy seafood, and even those who don't!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450* F. Wash fillets and pat dry. Tuck thin ends under so the whole fillets will be of equal thickness.
• Place each fillet on 12x15" pieces of foil.
• Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and pepper and spoon over fillets. Sprinkle scallions on top of each fillet. Fold the foil over fish and crimp edges to seal.
• Place packets on baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake at 450* F for 12 to 15 minutes, until foil is puffed and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
