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!

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!

Tilapia is a popular white fish that is versatile and easy to make. One of the best ways to impart flavor into the mild-tasting fish is by creating a glaze. An Asian glazed tilapia recipe is a great way to add sweetness, saltiness, and a bit of heat all in one bite. Below are valuable tips to help you create the best Asian glazed tilapia recipe.

Tip #1: Selecting the Right Tilapia Fillets

To create a flavorful Asian glazed tilapia recipe, you need to start with the right type of tilapia fillets. When shopping for tilapia, select fillets that are firm, have a slightly translucent color, and have a fresh smell. Avoid tilapia fillets that look dull, discolored or have a strong fishy odor, as they might be old or not fresh.

Tip #2: Preparing Tilapia Fillets

Preparing tilapia fillets for the Asian glazed recipe is as important as selecting the right fillets. Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water, then pat them dry using paper towels. This will help the glaze to stick better when applied to the fish. After that, remove any excess moisture from the fillets using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.

Tip #3: Preparing the Glaze

One of the essential components of an Asian glazed tilapia recipe is the glaze. To prepare the glaze, you will need a combination of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy ingredients. This includes soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar or lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. You can also add other seasonings such as sesame oil, hoisin sauce, or oyster sauce for more flavor. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, whisk well, and set aside.

Tip #4: Applying the Glaze

Once the glaze is ready, the next step is to apply it to the tilapia fillets. Brush the glaze lightly over the fillets, ensuring that it covers the fish entirely. The glaze should be thick and sticky, and wiping the fillets with the back of the spoon can help to spread it evenly. For best results, allow the fish to marinate in the glaze for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

Tip #5: Cooking the Tilapia Fillets

The final step in creating an excellent Asian glazed tilapia recipe is cooking the fish. There are several ways to cook tilapia fillets, including baking, pan-frying, or grilling. Whichever method you choose, ensure that the fish is cooked until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Baking
To bake the tilapia fillets, preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
Pan-frying
To pan-fry the tilapia fillets, heat some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the fillets and cook for three minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
Grilling
To grill the tilapia fillets, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, place the fillets on the grill grates and cook for four minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.

Conclusion

Creating an Asian glazed tilapia recipe requires a perfect combination of a few essential ingredients, such as the right type of tilapia fillets, the glaze, and the cooking technique. Following these valuable tips will help to ensure that your Asian glazed tilapia recipe is a hit with your family and guests. Remember, selecting fresh tilapia fillets, creating the right glaze, and cooking the fish thoroughly will result in an excellent dish that is both delicious and nutritious.
