Description

Tender tilapia fillets bathed in a spicy citrus glaze. Fantastic on a dreary, cold winter night.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 4 whole Tilapia Fillets
  • 1 whole Orange
  • 1 whole Lime
  • 1 whole Onion
  • 2 Tablespoons Hot Salt (or Mix Salt With Powdered Chipotle)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Spray baking dish with cooking spray.

Melt butter and then spread about a teaspoon on the bottom of baking dish.

Slice lime, orange, and onion into paper-thin slices.

Into your baking dish, place a fillet. Sprinkle with hot salt and put one slice lime, one slice orange, and 1 slice onion over fillet. Lay another fillet into your dish, overlapping it with the first fillet. Repeat the process until all of your fillets are used. Drizzle the fillets with melted butter and squeeze juice from the end pieces of orange and lime juice over the top.

Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake until fish is cooked, about 30 to 45 minutes.

To serve:
Carefully remove fillets onto a serving dish. I used two spatulas and was able to keep the pieces whole with the fruit in place. Take the juices from the pan and pour into a saucepan. Boil on high heat until the liquid becomes thickened. Pour over the top of fillets and serve with rice pilaf.
