  NOTES

  To confirm doneness, use a fork to flake tilapia fish fillet. It should flake easily.

  Fish should be eaten with an internal temperature of 130-135 degrees F. Use a meat thermometer to confirm doneness.

  I use fresh tilapia fillets for this simple recipe, but you can use frozen fillets as well. Add an additional 2-3 minutes to cooking process.
