ASIAN TILAPIA IN FOIL



Asian Tilapia in Foil image

Tilapia is popular in many Asian cuisines. Use low-sodium soy sauce to cut back on the sodium, if desired. I wasn't crazy about it, but so far I haven't liked any tilapia recipes--I just don't like the taste of the fish, I guess! The topping is good, though, and I will probably use it with other kinds of fish I do like--like snapper or cod. I did find that it took a lot longer to cook than the recipe originally called for (10-12 minutes at 425* F), so I've updated it. If you are using thin fillets in single layers, you may want to cut back on the heat and time a bit. You can always cook it longer if needed, but you can't un-cook it!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon grated fresh gingerroot
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450* F. Wash fillets and pat dry. Tuck thin ends under so the whole fillets will be of equal thickness.
  • Place each fillet on 12x15" pieces of foil.
  • Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and pepper and spoon over fillets. Sprinkle scallions on top of each fillet. Fold the foil over fish and crimp edges to seal.
  • Place packets on baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake at 450* F for 12 to 15 minutes, until foil is puffed and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

ASIAN GLAZED TILAPIA



Asian Glazed Tilapia image

This recipe comes from a local restaurant. I finally begged and begged and the chef gave me the ingredient list. I had been experimenting with several recipes using a marinade of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar trying to recreate my favorite menu item, but the fish was always over powered. Not so with this combination. The sauce lends the fish a sweet flavor, but doesn't overwhelm. I made it for my friends and they all agreed it was one of the best seafood dishes they've ever eaten. Sorry, but I didn't have a chance to snap any photos. I served the fish over Asian rice straw noodles - I think any light noodle would work nicely. I tossed the noodles with a few tablespoons of the glaze used on the fish, and paired with sautéed zucchini and yellow squash which were julienned for a pretty side dish. I hope you give this a try. It's really quick, easy, and impressive.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 lbs fresh tilapia fillets, frozen can be used as well (about 4 - 6 filets)
1 -2 teaspoon salt
1 -2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil (this is not an exact measurement, just coat your pan enough to keep the fish from sticking)
4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
4 tablespoons soy sauce (I use low sodium)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle each side of the fish with salt and pepper.
  • Coat a sautée pan with Olive Oil or your favorite cooking oil. I find that a non-stick pan works best for cooking this delicate fish.
  • Prepare the glaze by mixing equal parts Hoisin with Soy sauce. The hoisin is thicker and sweeter giving balance to the soy. You won't need that much for glazing the fish so you can use the remainder to toss in with your noodles if you want.
  • Brush the tops of each of the fish with the glaze and lay that side down on the pan allowing the glaze to form a seared on crust.
  • Brush the other side of the fish with glaze before flipping.
  • Each side takes about 4-6 minutes depending on how thick your filet is. I had big meaty ones so total cooking time was about 15 minutes. If you are unsure whether they are done, make a small cut into the the thickest part of the fish. If the cut is easy to make and the fish flakes, then it's done. If it's hard to pierce with a fork or seems tough, give it a few more minutes. You may have to flip the fish in order to keep it from burning if you are cooking thicker pieces and need the extra time. You may also want to cover the pan with a lid and let the steam help you out.
  • Serve on a bed of asian noodles or alone. It's sure to be a crowd pleaser for those that enjoy seafood, and even those who don't!
