Tilapia Fillet With Ginger Balsamic Glaze Recipes

BALSAMIC BAKED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and red pepper in the oil until onion is tender and golden, and peppers are slightly soft, about 10 minutes. Stir balsamic vinegar into the vegetables; season with salt and pepper.
• Rub tilapia filets with 2 teaspoons olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Place fillets in a small baking dish, and top with the balsamic onion mixture. Sprinkle fish evenly with blue cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes easily. Serve atop salad greens.

TILAPIA FILLET WITH GINGER BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• FIRST, HEAT SOME EVOO IN A FRYING PAN (ABOUT 2 TABLESPOONS) ON MEDIUM HIGH HEAT; WHILE WAITING FOR THAT, PAT-DRY FISH FILLET WITH PAPER TOWELS AND DREDGE FILLET IN FLOUR. GENTLY LAY EACH FILLET ON THE FRYING PAN AND COOK FOR ABOUT 3-4 MINUTES ON EACH SIDE.
• SET ASIDE COOKED TILAPIA ON A PLATTER AND ON THE SAME PAN, ADD SOME OIL IF THERE'S NONE LEFT FROM FRYING, ABOUT A TABLESPOON. SAUTE MINCED ONION AND GINGER UNTIL ONION BECOMES TRANSPARENT.
• ADD ABOUT 1/4 CUP BALSAMIC VINEGAR, LOWER HEAT A LITTLE AND LET IT COOK FOR A MINUTE (TO GET RID OF VINEGAR-Y TASTE) BEFORE ADDING IN SOME SOY SAUCE, ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT AS THE VINEGAR, ADD SOME WATER.
• SEASON WITH SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE AND LET BOIL THEN LOWER HEAT TO SIMMER AND COOK UNTIL THE MIXTURE HAS ALMOST EVAPORATED THEN AND ADD ENOUGH WATER TO YOUR LIKING; ADD A LITTLE IF YOU WANT A STRONGER OR CONCENTRATED GLAZE, SIMMER FOR ABOUT A MINUTE..
• ADD ABOUT A TEASPOON OF HONEY AND SIMMER FOR ABOUT HALF A MINUTE TO FINISH THE DISH AND POUR GLAZE OVER THE COOKED TILAPIA. SPRINKLE SLICED SPRING ONIONS FOR GARNISH.

BALSAMIC TILAPIA

Steps:

• Add 1 tbs. olive oil to small saute pan.
• Add onions and cook until tender.
• Add tomatoes to onion and let cook until tomatoes begin to lose their shape.
• Turn heat to medium/low and add 2 tbs. balsamic vinegar to onion and tomato mixture. Stir and let simmer while you prepare the fish.
• Coat a large frying or saute pan with olive oil over medium heat.
• Season fillets with salt and pepper then add to pan. The fish will cook very quickly. Try to flip only once. The fish is done when it begins to flake easily - in about 4-5 minutes total.
• To serve, plate fish and spoon the tomato/onion mixture over the fish - about 1/4 cup per fillet. Serve immediately.

HONEY SOY TILAPIA

Steps:

• Mix the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and garlic together in a bowl. Place the tilapia fillets in the mixture; allow to marinate in refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Remove tilapia from marinade, and discard the marinade. Place fillets into the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle the black pepper over the fish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

GINGER ORANGE TILAPIA

Steps:

• To prepare the marinade, in a small bowl, whisk together orange juice and peeled garlic, ginger and oil.
• Place the fillets in a shallow dish and cover with the marinade for 20-30 minutes.
• Remove the tilapia from the marinade and reserve it.
• Dredge the fillets in seasoned flour to coat shaking off excess.
• Heat 2 tbs oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat and add tilapia and cook until lightly golden 3-4 minutes per side and then remove from the pan.
• Add remaining marinade to the pan bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, reduce heat and simmer until it has a glaze consistency, 3-4 minutes.
• Pour the sauce over the tilapia and garnish with green onions.

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!

TILAPIA WITH BALSAMIC BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Simmer vinegar and garlic in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat until reduced to a thick syrup, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over high heat and season fish with salt & pepper; saute until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
• Cut butter into 1/2 inch cubes and whisk into saucepan one piece at a time.
• Serve fish drizzled with sauce.

GINGER MISO GLAZED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Whisk together everything except for the fish filets.
• Submerge fish in sauce to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• In nonstick or lightly oiled skillet, sear fish over medium high heat for 4-5 minutes or until fish is white and fully cooked.
• Remove fish from pan and plate filets.
• Pour leftover marinate into skillet and stir for 5 minutes while sauce thickens.
• Drizzle over filets.
