  This light fish entrée gets a flavor boost from a citrus glaze made from fresh lemon juice, orange juice, and fresh ginger. For stronger, more acidic flavor, add lemon zest and additional juice. Make sure to use a high-quality 100 percent orange juice that is freshly squeezed (not from concentrate).

  

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

  2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  1 pound tilapia fillets

  1 tablespoon olive oil

  1 tablespoon butter

  1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice or high-quality store-bought orange juice

  1 lemon, zested and juiced

  1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

  

Step 1

1. On a plate, combine the flour and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the tilapia in the flour.

  

Step 2

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil and butter. When the butter has melted, add the fish and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden and just cooked through. Remove the fish and set aside.

  

Step 3

3. Add the orange juice, 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, and the ginger to the skillet. Increase the heat and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Taste and add lemon zest or more lemon juice if necessary. Return the fish to the skillet, coat with sauce, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through.
