• Marinade your tilapia fillets for 20-30 minutes.

SAUTEED TILAPIA WITH CITRUS-SOY MARINADE

Steps:

• Add orange juice, soy sauce, and honey to a resealable plastic bag. stir to dissolve the honey and add in the fish fillets. Seal the bag and press out any excess air. Turn over a few times to coat the fish. Marinate at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the bag halfway through. Do not marinate any longer or the acid in the orange juice will cause the fish to become mushy. Remove the fish from the bag, reserve the marinade, and pat the fillets dry.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the fillets in batches and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the fillets to plates, add about half of the reserved marinade to the pan, and boil until it coats the back of a spoon. Check for seasoning and serve over the fish.

BASIC TILAPIA MARINADE (GRILLED)

Steps:

Squeeze the lemon juice in the dish; mix well. Then add olive oil, red wine or vinegar, oregano, black pepper, and Tabasco sauce in it. Close the lid, shake well, and the marinade is ready! Marinate the tilapia for around 45 minutes so that it can soak up the flavor. Remove the fillets carefully, and place it on a hot grill. Grill the fillets for about 5 minutes for each side. Remove it carefully without any breakage, and season with pepper and oregano.
