Spicy Orange Tilapia image

My husband Anthony & I both love Tilapia and I like cooking it in the parchment paper for a clean and different taste. I love the smell of the coconut oil while the fish is baking in the oven and it gives a nice subtle flavor to the fish along with the orange & chili doesn't make it mild by any means. This has a nice spicy kick...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large tilapia fillets or 4 loins
2 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted and cooled
6 slice thin sliced orange
parchment paper
COMBINE THESE INGREDIENTS
1/3 c orange juice, fresh
1 - 2 tsp ancho chili pepper
1 tsp sea salt
1 - 2 tsp black pepper
1 medium orange, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Rinse of your fish with water and place in bowl. Heat up coconut oil and then let it cool down a few minutes. Take a spoon and drizzle over fish on both sides. Use your spoon to push the oil over the fish or you can brush it on. My fish was so cold still that the coconut oil hardened on top. LOL
  • 2. Prepare your spices and orange juice. Get a piece of parchment paper that you can fit the fish in and fold up the side and ends. Pour half of the seasoning over one fillet. Do the same to the second fillet and then place your orange slices on top of the fish and fold up the parchment paper, so the juices don't run out. Place both fillets on baking sheets.
  • 3. Cook fish 12-15 minutes and check on it to see if it is cooked thoroughly. (Be careful, when opening parchment paper as the steam is very hot.)
  • 4. When fish is done, you are ready to plate. I used two spatulas to lift it carefully off the parchment paper. I then squeezed just a little more fresh orange on top and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. I like serving this with https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/vegetable/broccoli-and-barley.html?p=1
  • 5. Here is a pic of the Coconut Oil and Ancho Chili Pepper

The sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still good.

Not a fan. The sauce was too sweet for my taste and the fish was a bit bland.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the fish. I think I will stick to simpler recipes in the future.

This was my first time cooking tilapia, and it was a success! The fish was flaky and flavorful, and the sauce was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less chili pepper next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the fish turned out great. I didn't have any fresh oranges on hand, so I used orange juice concentrate, and it still turned out delicious.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about the orange sauce, but it was actually really good. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful without being too overpowering.

This spicy orange tilapia was a hit with my family! The orange sauce was perfectly sweet and tangy, and the tilapia was cooked to perfection. I served it with rice and steamed broccoli, and it was a complete meal.
