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

This recipe is a waste of time. The tilapia was bland and the sauce was watery.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out lumpy. Maybe I didn't whisk it enough.

This recipe is way too complicated. I don't have time for all of these steps.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tilapia turned out dry. I think I may have overcooked it.

The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but the tilapia was cooked perfectly.

I love the crispy skin on the tilapia. It's the perfect contrast to the tender, flaky flesh.
