A simple and delicious Asian-inspired fish recipe! Crispy tilapia drizzled with a sticky, oh-so-good honey soy glaze, topped with lots of chopped cilantro.

Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 lbs tilapia
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Coat defrosted tilapia with flour on both sides
  • Heat 1-2 tbsp of oil in a large skillet under medium heat. When skillet is heated up, add tilapia to skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until done. Set aside. Do not overlap tilapia when frying. Cook in two (or three) batches if needed.
  • In a small pot, bring to boil soy sauce, miring, honey, ginger powder and garlic powder. Once boil, continue to cook for ~4 minutes under medium heat, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Cook sauce until consistency is glaze-like.
    Honey Soy Glaze
  • Drizzle glaze onto fried tilapia. (See Note 1) Generously garnish tilapia with chopped cilantro.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: Glaze is thick and intensely flavored, so a little goes a long way. Adjust amount drizzled onto fish accordingly. May not need all of the glaze prepared.
