  • Season the cleaned fish with salt. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, combine onion, tomatoes, garlic, green onions, celery, salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl. combine oyster sauce, sesame oil and juice.
  • Line a large tray with foil big enough to cover the fish and make a packet.
  • Spread 1/3 of the vegetable mixture in the middle of the tray then place the tilapia over it.
  • Brush inside and all sides of tilapia with oyster sauce mixture.
  • Stuff the fish with 1/3 of the vegetables then the remaining mixture on top.
  • Cover with foil and fold the the sides to seal. Making a foil packet allows space for steaming and avoids steam and juice from oozing out while baking or steaming.
  • Bake at 375 F for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. It can also be grilled or steamed if desired.
  • Cut the foil from the sides.
  • Serve and enjoy.
