Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Sliced green onions, for garnish

How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
-
Step 3: Place the tilapia fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the marinade mixture over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Reserve some marinade for basting later.
-
Step 4: Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste the fillets with the reserved marinade halfway through the cooking time.
-
Step 5: Once cooked, remove the tilapia from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
-
Step 6: Transfer the tilapia fillets to serving plates. Garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro.
-
Step 7: Serve with lime wedges on the side.
