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.

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!
