• Toasted Sesame Oil

How to Make Asian Tilapia In Foil

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. Wash tilapia fillets and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
3. Tuck in any thin ends of the fillets to ensure even thickness.
4. Place each fillet on a 12x15 inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
5. 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.
6. Spoon the sauce evenly over each tilapia fillet.
7. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped scallions over the sauce on each fillet.
8. Fold the foil over the fish, crimping the edges tightly to create a sealed packet.
9. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet in a single layer.
10. 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.
