Quick, Super-Easy Baked Deliciousness

It is sometimes hard to find tasty, interesting recipes for fish, the types of recipes that you could serve to dinner guests proudly. This recipe is easy and quick enough for a busy weeknight dinner, yet it is also not your run-of-the-mill baked fish, so it can be presented elegantly enough that you could serve it to dinner guests.

While it is a baked fish, which is particularly good because then it won’t make your whole house smell fishy, the way fried fish can, it is not breaded and dry. No, this fish has been marinated in a spicy sweet sauce. You can make a double batch of the marinade to warm and have available to pour over the fish when you serve it. See the Quick Tips for more information on how to best work with marinades.

This would make a particularly impressive dinner combined with roasted asparagus spears and a long-grain and wild rice mixture. This combination would really let the fish be the star of the show, with the mild, buttery flavor of the asparagus giving your taste buds something to compare to the sweet-spicy fish. Thrice would add a crunchy texture appeal. Your guests will be impressed with the variety of tastes and textures on their plates.

Quick Tip:  If you would like to use some of this marinade to pour over the tilapia, rice or veggies when you serve this meal, double the marinade and use half to marinate, reserving the other half for use as a sauce. You can warm this sauce on the microwave right before serving.
