Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Place the seasoned tilapia fillets into the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until the edges begin to turn golden brown.

Step 6

Gently flip the fillets and pour the ginger-soy marinade over the fish.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the fillets cook for another 6-8 minutes, occasionally spooning the sauce over the fish, until the tilapia is cooked through and opaque.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked fillets to serving plates and drizzle the remaining sauce from the pan over the top.

Step 9

Optionally, garnish with sliced green onions for added freshness and serve immediately with rice or steamed vegetables.
