Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
Choose Fresh Tilapia: Look for tilapia fillets that are firm and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
Marinate the Tilapia: Marinating the tilapia in the orange-ginger-soy sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to infuse it with flavor and make it more tender.
Use a Nonstick Skillet: A nonstick skillet will help to prevent the tilapia from sticking and breaking apart.
Cook the Tilapia Over Medium Heat: Cooking the tilapia over medium heat will help to prevent it from overcooking and becoming dry.
Serve the Tilapia Immediately: Tilapia is best served immediately after cooking, when it is hot and flaky.
