Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tilapia fillets
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh raspberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice. Stir occasionally and simmer for 5–7 minutes until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Use the back of a spoon to mash the raspberries, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Set the raspberry glaze aside.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Carefully place the tilapia fillets into the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked tilapia to a serving platter. Drizzle the raspberry glaze over the fillets.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
