Honey Lime Tilapia
YIELD: SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS
Fish and Marinade:
4 tilapia fillets (about 4-5 ounces each)
2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 large lime)
Zest of 1 lime
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 clove garlic, finely minced
DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper and garlic. Place the tilapia in a gallon-sized ziploc bag and pour the marinade on top of the fish. Press the air out of the bag and seal. Refrigerate the fish for at least an hour It helps to lay the bag in a flat dish and turn it over once or twice during the marinading time since the marinade won't completely cover the fish.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place fish on rimmed cookie sheet lined with tin foil, pour remaining marinade on fish evenly. Cook fish for 15 mins or until flaky.
Serve immediately with lime wedges. Serve with Brussel Sprout & Quinoa Salad
