Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, 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 onions
2 oranges, peeled, seeded, coarsely chopped
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (15-ounce) can black beans or pinto beans, drained, rinsed
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 1) For the tilapia marinade, combine lime juice, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, 2 Tablespoons cilantro, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and sugar in a shallow dish. 2) Add tilapia and marinate 15 minutes, turning once. 3) To prepare the bean and rice mixture, cook the rice according to package and keep warm while the tilapia is marinating. 4) Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large, skillet or saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium heat. Add remaining garlic and onions; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring. 5) Add 2 tablespoons cilantro, oranges, tomatoes, beans, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper and cayenne. 6) Cook, uncovered, until hot, 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. 7) Transfer hot rice to a 9x-13-inch baking dish. Spoon the bean mixture on top of rice and gently blend. Slightly overlap tilapia fillets on top and scrape marinade over fillets. 8) Bake 16 to 20 minutes.

I accidentally used double the amount of chili powder and it was still delicious.
