Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia fillets
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler on high.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, salt, paprika, and dried thyme.
  3. Place the tilapia fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure to coat each fillet evenly. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
  4. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove the tilapia fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Broil the fillets for 4-6 minutes, or until they are opaque and easily flake with a fork. Be careful not to overcook them.
  7. Serve the broiled tilapia fillets hot, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon slices if desired.
