A note about serious food allergies

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 mahi-mahi, halve fillets. Follow same instructions as tilapia in Steps 1 and 2, searing, panko-side down first, until mahi-mahi reaches minimum internal temperature, 3-4 minutes per side.

  • If using chicken breasts, follow same instructions as tilapia in Steps 1 and 2, searing, panko-side down first, until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using sirloin steaks, follow same instructions as tilapia in Steps 1 and 2, searing, panko-side down first, until sirloin reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.
