How to Make Asian Tilapia In Foil
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Wash tilapia fillets and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- Tuck in any thin ends of the fillets to ensure even thickness.
- Place each fillet on a 12x15 inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Spoon the sauce evenly over each tilapia fillet.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped scallions over the sauce on each fillet.
- Fold the foil over the fish, crimping the edges tightly to create a sealed packet.
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the foil is puffed and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets; thinner fillets may require less time.
