A delightful tilapia recipe with a tangy citrus sauce, perfect for a flavorful dinner.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter is melted and combined with the oil before adding the fish.
Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel before seasoning for better texture.
Place the fillets in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Remove the cooked tilapia from the pan and keep warm.
Cover the fish with foil to retain heat while preparing the sauce.
In the same pan, sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir constantly to prevent burning.
Add the soy sauce, orange juice, red pepper flakes, and brown sugar to the pan. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning to your preference.
Return the tilapia to the pan and coat with the sauce. Simmer for 1 minute.
Ensure the fish is well-coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Transfer the tilapia to a serving plate, drizzle with the remaining sauce, and garnish with scallions, cilantro, and lime slices.
Serve immediately for the best taste and presentation.
