How to Make Asian Tilapia
- Preheat your microwave.

- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup crushed pineapple (in juice), 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions.
- Pour the pineapple mixture evenly over the tilapia fillets.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap, venting one corner to allow steam to escape.

- Carefully remove the dish from the microwave (it will be hot!). Let stand for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
