Tips:
- Choose the freshest tilapia fillets you can find. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Use a sharp knife to score the tilapia fillets. This will help the marinade penetrate the fish and cook it evenly.
- Marinate the tilapia fillets for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. The longer the fillets marinate, the more flavor they will absorb.
- Cook the tilapia fillets over medium heat. This will help prevent the fish from drying out.
- Serve the tilapia fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Ginger lime tilapia is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy this versatile fish. The marinade infuses the tilapia with a bright and citrusy flavor, while the pan-frying method cooks the fish quickly and evenly. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
