• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

MARINADE:

3 tbsps Red Wine Vinegar

2 tbsps Apple Cider Vinegar

1 tbsp Sugar

1 tbsp Soy Sauce

1 tsp Crushed or Minced Garlic

1 tsp Ground Ginger

a few drizzles of Honey

1 tsp Sesame Seeds

FISH:

1/2 lb Tilapia

1/2 cup Fried Onions

Cooking spray to grease

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 425F. Lightly grease baking sheet with cooking spay.

In small mixing bowl combine all marinade ingredients, whisking well. The marinade is slightly acidic to taste, but works great once cooked with the fish, so fear not! Next, in shallow baking dish or bowl combine the tilapia and marinade – Let the fish marinate for 10 minutes.*

While the fish marinates, place fried onions in a Ziploc bag, then crush into crumbs with your hands. Set aside.

When ready, press fried onion crumbs into the top and sides of each piece of tilapia — the bottoms do not get coated! –then transfer to greased baking sheet. Bake fish for 10 – 12 minutes on oven middle rack until flaky and cooked through, then immediately plate and serve. Pair with leftover marinade if desired.
