I have so much fun serving this Mexican-inspired tilapia at summer parties. Finish it off with a side of rice and a salad loaded with sliced avocadoes and tomatoes. -Nadine Mesch, Mount Healthy, Ohio

ASIAN GLAZED TILAPIA
This recipe comes from a local restaurant. I finally begged and begged and the chef gave me the ingredient list. I had been experimenting with several recipes using a marinade of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar trying to recreate my favorite menu item, but the fish was always over powered. Not so with this combination. The sauce lends the fish a sweet flavor, but doesn't overwhelm. I made it for my friends and they all agreed it was one of the best seafood dishes they've ever eaten. Sorry, but I didn't have a chance to snap any photos. I served the fish over Asian rice straw noodles - I think any light noodle would work nicely. I tossed the noodles with a few tablespoons of the glaze used on the fish, and paired with sautéed zucchini and yellow squash which were julienned for a pretty side dish. I hope you give this a try. It's really quick, easy, and impressive.

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!

ASIAN CILANTRO TILAPIA #RSC
Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. I'm of a Korean background so the asian flavors of salty, sweet, sesame, ginger, garlic is present. My kids love it and I don't think they realize they're eating 'fish'. They don't need to know as long as they like it and eat it. lol. Using the tilapia is the best cuz of the lightness of the fish. The distinctiveness of the cilantro will give it a great fresh herb taste.
