Notes
- If you like easy recipes with fish, seafood and salmon, you will love this list of salmon and shrimp recipes that I made especially for you.
- If you are using frozen tilapia, make sure to fully thaw the fish before cooking with it.
- Try to buy filets that are similar in sizing so they cook evenly.
- Careful not to overcook the fish as it can dry it out.
- Tilapia is done once it flakes easily at the thickest part of the fillet or reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- To store: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
- To reheat: Gently reheat the fish and sauce on the stovetop when ready to enjoy.
- To freeze: Always allow the skillet to cool to room temperature before freezing. Freeze the fish and sauce in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
