• About an hour before marinating is complete start up smoker.
• You are looking for a temperature of about 200 F and no higher than 225°F.

• Mix up the salt, pepper and cayenne.
• Take out the Fillets, rinse then pat dry.
• Drizzle olive oil on a platter.
• Place fish on the platter and slide em around to oil the bottoms.
• Generously coat the tops only with honey.

• Mix the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and garlic together in a bowl. Place the tilapia fillets in the mixture; allow to marinate in refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Remove tilapia from marinade, and discard the marinade. Place fillets into the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle the black pepper over the fish.
