Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound tilapia fillets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice or high-quality store-bought orange juice
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Steps:

  • 1. On a plate, combine the flour and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the tilapia in the flour.
  • 2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil and butter. When the butter has melted, add the fish and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden and just cooked through. Remove the fish and set aside.
  • 3. Add the orange juice, 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, and the ginger to the skillet. Increase the heat and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Taste and add lemon zest or more lemon juice if necessary. Return the fish to the skillet, coat with sauce, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the sauce didn't thicken up like it was supposed to.

The fish was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll use less lemon juice next time.

The sauce is the star of this dish. It's so flavorful and versatile. I've used it on tilapia, salmon, and even chicken.

I'm not usually a fan of tilapia, but this recipe changed my mind. The citrusy sauce really brightened up the fish and made it taste amazing.
