Zesty Tilapia
















Adapted from foodnetwork.com.

This meal is great due to its quick preparation, plus the hour or so of marinating allows you to make it ahead of time and cook just before you're ready to eat. Perfect for us today since we had just a small window of time to cook dinner between classes and meetings.

Ingredients:
2 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
2 tablespoons orange juice (we used Simply Orange with mango)
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon salt
Black pepper

Directions:
Place the fish in a nonmetal dish. Whisk together the olive oil, orange zest, orange juice, ginger, salt, and pepper, to taste; pour over the fish. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes.

When the tilapia has finished marinating, remove from the fridge. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and turn stove to medium-high heat. Cook until fish begins to flake, about 5 minutes per side.

After grating the orange for its zest, we sliced it up and ate it alongside our fish. Serve with your choice of veggies.

Yield: 2 servings
