How to Microwave Tilapia Filet

While it sometimes gets a bad rap, tilapia is an underrated, lean, protein-packed fish that’s not only versatile but budget friendly. Microwaving tilapia at home is a breeze with an Anyday dish! Thanks to its silicone-lined lid, you can cook your fish without any complicated steps or fishy smells. The lid keeps the tilapia’s moisture and flavor right where they belong, while the lower microwave power level ensures it stays tender, juicy, and flaky—not rubbery. The result? A super easy and delicious meal that’s perfect for any day of the week.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
