Asian Tilapia In Foil

---

Tilapia is popular in many asian cuisines. use low-sodium soy sauce to cut back on the sodium, if desired. I wasn't crazy about it, but so far i haven't liked any tilapia recipes--i just don't like the taste of the fish, i guess! The topping is good, though, and i will probably use it with other kinds of fish i do like--like snapper or cod. I did find that it took a lot longer to cook than the recipe originally called for (10-12 minutes at 425* f), so i've updated it. If you are using thin fillets in single layers, you may want to cut back on the heat and time a bit. You can always cook it longer if needed, but you can't un-cook it!!
