Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the wasabi paste, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, grated ginger, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Brush the wasabi mixture generously over both sides of each fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the coated tilapia fillets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets and sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the tilapia from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped scallions and serve hot. Pair with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a light salad for a complete meal.
