I love recipes that are super quick and easy and require little to no prep, but that is still super delicious.
My good friend Hailey came up with the idea to use a bottle of salad dressing as a cooking sauce for her tilapia. I decided to give it a try myself, and I used the exact dressing she recommended…the Archer Farms Lemon Ginger Sesame Dressing from Target. I was amazed at how crazy good this recipe was!! The fish came out so moist and flaky, and the dressing made the perfect sauce for it…light and flavorful. Plus, it was so fast to prepare.
This will definitely become one of my go-to Weight Watchers Fish Recipes for when I want to get a healthy fish dinner on the table quickly, with no fuss. And each serving is just 6 Points! Pair this with a salad or some roasted vegetables, and you’ve got the perfect low-calorie dinner.

Lemon Ginger Tilapia Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 lbs tilapia - sliced into 6 fillets
- 1 bottle light Lemon Ginger Sesame Salad Dressing
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Spray a large, nonstick skillet with nonfat cooking spray (I like the Pam butter-flavored kind for this recipe) and set over medium-high heat.
- Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper and place in pan.
- Sear each side of the tilapia for about 3 minutes. Then turn the heat to medium. Pour in the entire bottle of salad dressing. Cover and let cook for about 15 minutes, or until fish is cooked through, making sure to occasionally spoon dressing over fish while cooking.

Ahh I was just in Fresno (where they have Target stores) on Sat. wish I would have known. I will be sure to add the dressing to my list. I have some Basa fish that I bet this will be great with. TY for the recipe.
