5.0(54)

I have to put this recipe somewhere before it gets thrown away!! It was in the paper as a "Quick Meal". I just love tilapia!! Feel free to add more garlic or ginger to this sauce....the more the merrier, right?

1 lb tilapia fillet (or other thin mild fish)tilapia

Instructions (10 steps)

01Combine the soy sauce, sugar, garlic, lime juice, ginger and red pepper flakes in a wide, shallow baking pan that will hold all of the fish in a single layer.
02Stir briefly to dissolve the sugar.
03Add the tilapia, then turn it over so that it's coated all over with the marinade.
04Set aside for 20 min or so.
05Heat the broiler to high, and move the oven rack to position closest to heat.

Slide the pan into the oven, and broil the fish for 5 minute Keep the oven door ajar so the broiler element stays lit.

07Turn the pan around (back to front), and broil for 5 more minute.

08If the juices in the pan appear to burn, add a little water to the dry spot to prevent burning.

09The fish should be opaque and flaky.

10Spoon the sauce over the fish when serving.
