Delicious Easy Tilapia Recipe

I often find that I shy away from cooking fish at home.  I don’t know why it is so intimidating, I think I convinced myself that fish only tastes good at a restaurant.  When I saw these fresh Asian vegetables already cut up at Trader Joe’s, I knew I had to face my fears and create a simple yet delicious fish recipe to make at home. After all I don’t think you will ever find a tilapia dish at a restaurant for under $4 per serving.

3 6T Soyaki sauce from Trader Joe’s $0.65*

Directions

Step 1:  Microwave the Asian vegetables until tender around 4 minutes

Step 2:  Spray a pan with some olive oil spray and put the tender vegetables into the pan. Set heat at m/h.

Step 3:   Defrost your tilapia fillets in the fridge overnight so that they cook up very fast.

Step 4:  Place the fillets directly on top of the veggies, and pour the soyaki sauce over top.  Cover and cook for about 5 minutes till the fish is cooked through.

Step 5:  Enjoy!
