Honey and Soy Tilapia

Here is a new fish recipe from All Recipes! This was about 5 minutes of prep and 20 minutes of baking! I marinated the meat for about an hour and thirty minutes because I was finishing up some things around the house.

Would I make it again? Maybe. This has all the ingredients that I normally have laying around the house. I also think this would be a tasty marinade for grilled chicken.

As not everyone likes fish, it was convenient that I could cook chicken in the oven at the same temp and for the same time. There wasn't the feeling of cooking two meals. (I butterflied a chicken breast and marinated it in Wegman's Savory Marinade for the same amount of time as the fish. Then put the chicken in a tin foil lined pan and bake for 20 minutes at 350F) 

Honey and Soy Tilapia

serves 4

3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Olive oil

4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia

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 350F. Prepare a glass baking dish with a layer of tin foil and a healthy drizzle of olive oil

Remove tilapia from marinade, and pour in some (or all) of 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.
