How to Make Bacon And Brown Sugar Infused Tilapia
- Prepare the bacon: Cook 4 slices of bacon in the microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until halfway cooked. Set aside.
- Melt butter: In a medium-large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add bacon: Add the partially cooked bacon slices to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until crispy.
- Prepare tilapia: Gently pat 4 (4-6 ounce) tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of brown sugar evenly over both sides of the fillets.
- Sear tilapia: Place the tilapia fillets on top of the bacon in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook tilapia: Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.
