How to Make Asian Glazed Tilapia

  1. Whisk together soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, ginger, and garlic in a bowl to create the glaze.
  2. Place tilapia fillets in a shallow dish and pour the glaze over them, ensuring both sides are coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the marinated tilapia fillets to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  5. While the fish cooks, cook rice straw noodles according to package directions. Toss cooked noodles with 2-3 tablespoons of the remaining glaze.
  6. In a separate pan, sauté julienned zucchini and yellow squash with 1 tablespoon of oil until tender-crisp.
  7. Serve the Asian Glazed Tilapia over the glazed noodles, topped with the sautéed zucchini and yellow squash. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
  8. Enjoy your restaurant-quality meal!
