GINGER LIME TILAPIA
My husband won't eat fish unless its Tilapia, so I've had to find ways to make it interesting. This is my favorite variation I've done so far. I generally serve this with fresh snow peas or green beans splashed with teriyaki sauce.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh ginger and lime juice. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger.
- If you don't have lime juice, you can substitute lemon juice. However, lime juice will give the dish a more authentic flavor.
- Don't overcook the tilapia. It should be cooked through, but still flaky and moist. Overcooked tilapia will be dry and tough.
- Serve the tilapia with your favorite sides. Some good options include rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
