4 Tbsp orange juice
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp minced garlic

4 tilapia fillets
2 Tbsp thinly sliced green onions

  • 4. Remove plastic wrap and serve, putting a little of the sauce on each fillet.

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 odor.
  • Season the tilapia fillets simply. Salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice are all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the tilapia fillets quickly. Tilapia is a delicate fish that cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. The fillets should be cooked through but still moist and flaky.
