TAMRA'S MICROWAVE TILAPIA

Steps:

• In a microwavable baking dish, arrange tilapia fillets in a single layer. Dot with pieces of butter, and minced garlic. Sprinkle over fresh tarragon. Cover with waxed paper and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
• Turn fillets over, recover, and continue to microwave on high for a further 2 minutes. Remove immediately, sprinkle with apple cider vinegar, and serve.

ASIAN-STYLE GRILLED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Combine 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.
• Stir briefly to dissolve the sugar.
• Add the tilapia, then turn it over so that it's coated all over with the marinade.
• Set aside for 20 min or so.
• Heat 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.
• Turn the pan around (back to front), and broil for 5 more minute.
• If the juices in the pan appear to burn, add a little water to the dry spot to prevent burning.
• The fish should be opaque and flaky.
• Spoon the sauce over the fish when serving.

ASIAN GLAZED TILAPIA

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!
