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 TILAPIA IN FOIL
Tilapia is popular in many Asian cuisines. Use low-sodium soy sauce to cut back on the sodium, if desired. I wasn't crazy about it, but so far I haven't liked any tilapia recipes--I just don't like the taste of the fish, I guess! The topping is good, though, and I will probably use it with other kinds of fish I do like--like snapper or cod. I did find that it took a lot longer to cook than the recipe originally called for (10-12 minutes at 425* F), so I've updated it. If you are using thin fillets in single layers, you may want to cut back on the heat and time a bit. You can always cook it longer if needed, but you can't un-cook it!

Tips:
- Choose the right tilapia fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a strong, fishy smell.
- Score the tilapia fillets. This will help the marinade penetrate the fish and cook it evenly.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade should contain a combination of sweet, sour, and savory ingredients. Some popular marinade ingredients include soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, and green onions.
- Let the tilapia fillets marinate for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the fish.
- Cook the tilapia fillets over medium heat. This will help prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Serve the tilapia fillets with a variety of dipping sauces. Some popular dipping sauces include sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, and chili sauce.
Conclusion:
Asian-glazed tilapia is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. It is a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The tilapia fillets are marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, and green onions. They are then pan-fried until they are cooked through.
