- add review
- #68849
Tilapia is a quick-cooking fish that takes on the flavors it's cooked with. This recipe flavors it with Asian-style ingredients and gives it a little crunch with seasme seeds

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

We love tilapia & we love sesame. This? Not so much. Sesame needs to stick to fish. Mine didn't at least. I might try again and bake it. Put sesame on one side only. Flavors were good just not great.
The sesame seeds stuck to the fish just fine for us. Baking it should work just fine though too.

This is now one of our favorite fish recipes! The fish was light and flaky and the seasonings and sesame seeds add a ton of flavor. Serve with rice or stir-fried vegetables.
