EASY, EASY ASIAN TILAPIA IN MICROWAVE

Steps:

• 1. Lay Tilapia fillets on a plate. Sprinkle with green onion and ginger. Drizzle soy, sesame oil and canola over top.
• 2. Cover plate with plastic wrap, leaving a small area unsealed. Microwave in 1 minute increments until fish is white all the way through.
• 3. Serve and congratulate yourself on the easiest fish dish you have ever prepared and it didn't stink up the house because of the ginger.
• 4. Garnish with more green onion if desired.

CRUNCHY, BUTTERY, TEN-MINUTE TILAPIA

Steps:

• I make these in a greased glass pie dish, works great in the microwave. Arrange fillets in single layer. Sprinkle liberally with lemon pepper. Squeeze juice from a medium lemon evenly over fish. In a pinch, use bottled lemon juice, about a tablespoon or a little more. Smoosh a part sleeve of saltines right in the wrapper with your hands- leave fairly coarse. Put layer of crumbs on the fillets and dot with butter, sprinkle with parsley. Cover lightly with a napkin or wax paper so butter doesn't splatter all over! (I warned you!) Cook 3 minutes on high. Take out and redistribute butter a little so most of all the crumbs get some, then return to microwave for another 2-3 minutes. Don't over cook! Fish should flake easily with fork and will cook a little more as it sits.
