Tilapia is good on its own, with just a little salt and pepper, but it's even better when it can be enrobed in a tasty sauce. This sauce, a mix of sweet honey and puckering mustard, tops the tilapia with a flavor blanket of pure delight, a flavor coat of amazing, a tasty dress of pure taste… gone too far? Point made? You'll have to order this guy and see if it lives up to the hyperbole.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using chicken breasts, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using mahi-mahi, pat dry. Halve any larger pieces to match smaller pieces. Cook until mahi-mahi reaches minimum internal temperature, 3-4 minutes per side. Fish thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner fillet, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tilapia

    Pat tilapia dry and season flesh side with garlic pepper and 1/4 tsp. salt.

    Top flesh side with half the panko (reserve remaining for garnish), pressing gently to adhere.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tilapia

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add tilapia, panko-side down first, to hot pan and sear until golden-brown and tilapia reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-6 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Season with a pinch of salt.

    While tilapia cooks, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Add bell peppers to hot pan. Stir occasionally, 3 minutes.

    Add zucchini and garlic salt. Stir occasionally until tender, 2-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in butter until melted and combined.

    While vegetables cook, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Crisp Panko, Make Sauce, and Finish Dish
