One Pan Asian Tilapia Recipe (Easy and Healthy)
Pan seared fish with garlic, ginger and soy sauce over rice with wilted spinach
Ingredients
- 4 8 oz. tilapia fillets
- 6 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
- 1/3 cup mirin
- 1 Tbsp. garlic minced
- 1 Tbsp. ginger minced
- 2 Tbsp. soy sauce or tamari
- 5 cups cooked rice
- red pepper flakes garnish, optional
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Pat tilapia loins dry with paper towels. Pan fry the tilapia in a single layer (do not crowd the pan), 7-8 minutes per side, until both sides have a golden crust. Remove onto a separate plate.
- Add the sesame oil, garlic and ginger to the pan. Once the garlic and ginger start to sizzle, add the mirin and soy sauce. Reduce heat to low.
- Put the fish back into the pan and simmer, spooning sauce over the fish, 3-5 minutes.
- Divide the cooked rice evenly among serving plates. Add the spinach to the pan and cook 1 minute, until spinach wilts. Plate the fish and spinach over the rice. Garnish with red pepper flakes, if desired.
