This is a very simple recipe to follow and it's quite quick. Takes about 20-25 minutes and 15 of that is marinade and prep time. Here's the things you will need.
6 Tilapia Fillets
1 can of pineapple tidbits in juice (not syrup)
Teriyaki Sauce
Hot sauce
Honey
Soy Sauce
Balsamic Vinegar
Worcestershire Sauce
Make the marinade first. In a mixing bowl, strain the can of pineapple and a quarter of the tidbits into the bowl with a cup and a half of Teriyaki. Mix together with a fork adding one ingredient at a time. 5 dashes of hot sauce (Louisiana Brand is my favorite because it is sweet and not too hot for this one), 2 tsp honey, 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 2 dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Mix together vigorously in the bowl or a food processor or blender. If in a blender, only pulse for about 3 seconds. I personally use a stick blender for my sauces and marinades. Personal preference is key here. Pull about 1/2 cup of liquid out of the marinade onto a cup or small container and set aside. Place the Tilapia in the bowl with the remaining marinade and are too soak for ten minutes. Put 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat and allow to get smoky hot. Place tilapia in pan and cook both sides for about 5 mines and then remove. In same pan add remaining pineapple and sear until browned nicely. Once pineapple is seared. Add liquid you set aside and allow to reduce for 30 seconds. Wake the reduction with 2 tsp of balsamic vinegar and cook for 30 seconds. Spoon the pineapple and reduction over the Tilapia and serve. Taste is sweet and tangy. It goes well with the very mild flavor of tilapia and the fish is very spongy so it soaks a lot of flavor up from the marinade very quickly. This is a quick and easy fish to do and virtually takes less than 30 minutes from beginning to end. Promise you'll love it. Just remember that cooking isn't that hard to do. If you like certain flavors, try adding other things. Even trying other marinades. Yummy Yummy stuff. Taste scale I would put this on a 8/10.
