Tilapia with Honey Ginger Sauce

We're still trying to incorporate more seafood into our diets, or get it back to where it used to be - not sure why it dropped off before. I figured something easy would be the best idea. Long cooking procedures and/or extensive cleaning afterward tend to put recipes in the "do not make again" category pretty fast, especially with a food blog where I need to constantly try out new things. :) This recipe was easy enough, and you can go from raw ingredients to the table in under 15 minutes. Now, that's my kind of meal! You could serve this fish over some rice, like we did, or just by itself. Another option might be over a salad. Just make a bit more of the sauce, and it'll double as the dressing - much healthier and easier than a salad topped with some chicken tenders, especially since tilapia are a low calorie, low carb, and low sodium protein, rich in phosphorus, niacin, selenium, vitamin B₁₂, and potassium!
