Honey, Soy, and Garlic Tilapia

Step 1

Whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 2

Place tilapia filets into a gallon sized baggie and pour in marinade.

Step 3

Marinate for 1 hour.

Step 4

Remove the tilapia from the fridge while you heat your non stick pan over medium/medium high heat.

Step 5

Place flour on a small plate and dredge the tilapia filets one at a time. Use your hands to gently rub in the flour (you just want a thin layer of flour) and then flip the filet over and repeat with the other side. Repeat with remaining filets.

Step 6

Once your pan in hot, add in 1 tablespoon of oil and let warm up for a few seconds.

Step 7

Gently place two filets in the pan and cook one side for about 2 - 3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 8

Flip filets over and cook for an additional 2 - 3 minutes, or until the filet is golden brown and is cooked through (it should flake easily with a fork).

Step 9

Remove the tilapia from the pan and let drain on a paper towel.

Step 10

Add in the other tablespoon of oil to the pan* and repeat with the remaining two filets.

Step 11

Again, drain and serve immediately with an extra pinch of salt, drizzle of honey, and a squeeze of lemon, if desired!**
