PAN-SEARED 5-SPICE TILAPIA W/ HOT-ORANGE-GINGER SAUCE
Spice rubs are the perfect way to jazz up mild-flavored fish and poultry. This rub - a blend of spices, herbs, salt, sugar and oil - transforms into a falvorful crust when cooked. Here we brushed the tilapia with a combination of Chinese Five-Spice Powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and oil. A purchased blend of Chinese Five-Spice Powder or one you have made is great - either one will work. CuisineAtHome.com: Issue 73 February 2009 edition. With the sauce - vary the amount of red pepper flakes to adjust the heat of the sauce to your liking.

Steps:
- Preheat grill.
- Spread oil on both sides of filets.
- Sprinkle with seasoning.
- Place on hot grill and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes over a medium high heat. Turn once during grilling.
- Serve with Aioli.
- Prepare aioli by combining all ingredients in a bowl, mixing and then refrigerate until you are ready for use.
- I served it with boiled new potatoes and green beans to dip in the Aioli.
- I use Low fat mayonnaise.
- Use seasoning of your choice.
Tips:
- Select Fresh Tilapia Fillets: Choose firm, moist tilapia fillets with a vibrant pink or white color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Prepare the Marinade: The marinade is crucial for infusing flavor into the tilapia. Use fresh orange juice, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey for a well-balanced marinade.
- Marinate the Tilapia: Allow the tilapia fillets to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the fish and tenderize it.
- Preheat the Grill: Ensure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat before cooking the tilapia. This will help sear the fish and prevent it from sticking.
- Grill the Tilapia: Place the marinated tilapia fillets on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
- Serve with Desired Sides: Grilled orange-ginger tilapia pairs well with a variety of sides, such as steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Conclusion:
Grilled orange-ginger tilapia is a flavorful and healthy dish that's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The zesty marinade, infused with orange, ginger, and garlic, imparts a vibrant flavor to the tender tilapia fillets. Grilling the fish adds a slightly smoky taste while keeping it moist and flaky. Whether served with steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad, this grilled tilapia recipe is sure to delight your taste buds. Its delicate flavor and versatility make it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion. So, fire up your grill and enjoy this delicious and satisfying dish!
