Very easy -- a good choice for a day when you don't have much time to cook. Prep time was minimal and cooking time of @ 10 minutes was spot on -- fish texture was perfect. Sauce can all be done in a mini-chopper eliminating the need to chop the garlic or grate the ginger.
I didn't use the pepper -- replaced it with a little sriracha sauce for heat --- my sauce was a little salty -- might use a low-sodium soy sauce next time.

last night I pulled out some frozen tilapia fillets for dinner and remembered seeing this recipe last month on Serious Eats.
lo and behold, I had everything the recipe called for in the pantry (made more likely by the fact that the ingredient list for the sauce is only 7 ingredients long) and, even better, you throw everything in the blender, pour it over the fish and bake 8-10 minutes. it doesn't get much easier than that.
my only notes for next time are that I will listen to the recipe and seed the jalepeno (I like things spicy, but this was nose-running hot, bordering on the sweat) and maybe use a larger sheet pan - the recipe called for one just large enough to fit the fish and the sauce didn't reduce and carmelize enough. I ended up pouring it off into a saucepan and reducing it on the stove.
