BALSAMIC TILAPIA
This is a great way to make Tilapia with a twist. Easy, flavorful and good for you, it's different than the usual broiled, baked or fried Tilapia I usually have. Ingredients needed are minimal - I made it up with what I had on hand and it turned out beautifully. My husband loved it and he isn't much of a fish eater.

- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A good balsamic vinegar will have a thick, syrupy consistency and a rich, complex flavor.
- Marinate the tilapia fillets for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the flavors to penetrate the fish and make it more moist.
- Bake the tilapia fillets at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
- Serve the tilapia fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
