Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

1 Combine the soy sauce, sugar, garlic, lime juice, ginger and red pepper flakes in a wide, shallow baking pan that will hold all of the fish in a single layer.

2 Stir briefly to dissolve the sugar.

3 Add the tilapia, then turn it over so that it's coated all over with the marinade.

4 Set aside for 20 min or so.

5 Heat the broiler to high, and move the oven rack to position closest to heat.

6 Slide the pan into the oven, and broil the fish for 5 minute Keep the oven door ajar so the broiler element stays lit.

7 Turn the pan around (back to front), and broil for 5 more minute.

8 If the juices in the pan appear to burn, add a little water to the dry spot to prevent burning.

9 The fish should be opaque and flaky.

10 Spoon the sauce over the fish when serving.
