Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro or 4 tablespoons parsley, divided
4 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon sugar
6 (5 ounce) tilapia fillets
3/4 cup long-grain rice
1 cup chopped onion
2 oranges, peeled, seeded, coarsely chopped
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, un-drained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans or 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained, rinsed
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

  • Add tilapia and marinate 15 minutes, turning once.
  • To prepare the bean and rice mixture, cook the rice according to package and keep warm while the tilapia is marinating.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large, skillet or saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium heat. Add remaining garlic and onions; sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring. Add 2 tablespoons cilantro, oranges, tomatoes, beans, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and cayenne.
  • Cook, uncovered, until hot, 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Bake 16 to 20 minutes.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste, but it was still good. The tilapia was cooked perfectly, but the sauce needed more flavor. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to the sauce next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. The tilapia was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
