ASIAN GLAZED TILAPIA
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.

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!

Steps:

- 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.

EASY ASIAN-STYLE LOW FAT MICROWAVE STEAMED FISH
Dead easy fish, always tasty and good! The flavours are Vietnamese/Thai/Balinese. You can add any other favourite asian flavours to the marinade, get creative! Australian measurements used (1 T = 20mls)You can use lemon juice if you have to but lime is really much nicer. If you have some, add a chopped kaffir lime leaf. I leave the peanut butter out on mine but my husband loves it.

Steps:
- Mix all marinade ingredients except peanut butter in a small bowl or cup. Taste to check for seasoning.
- If you are adding the peanut butter, add it to the mix and stir to create a thick paste.
- Spread over frozen or fresh fish fillets.
- Put fillets onto a plate with a microwave cover or place them in a shallow covered container (but make sure a little of the steam can escape). If fish are frozen, cook on high for at least 6-7 minutes (depending on thickness of fish). If thawed, about 4-5 minutes should be sufficient. This will change depending on your microwave so do check the fish by checking the colour in the centre of the fillet (it should be opaque).
- Serve with rice and a crisp salad.
