We've had mixed results with tilapia, sometimes just too firm and easily dried out. This recipes howerev turned out awesome, some of the best fish ever (<- I'm not kidding, ever)). The five spice rub and the hot orange sauce were just perfect. Another great contribution from Cuisine at Home. CaH always delivers with recipes that are seasoned just right without any adjustment.
1/2 tsp Chinese five spice mix
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
3 Tb. vegetable oil, divided
1 lb Tilapia (4 to six filets
2 tsp. minced scallions for garnish
Mix five spice powder, salt and cayenne with 2 Tb. Oil in a small bowl.
Pat the filets dry and brush both sides with the spice mixture. Heat remaining Ts of oil in a large pan (the recipe calls for non-stick, but we used our steel pan and it browned beautiful) over medium high heat. Add fillets and and saute 3 minutes on each side (I think it was slightly less on the second side.
Hot Orange-Ginger Sauce
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 Tb. rice vinegar
1 Tb. minced fresh ginger (we used our new microplane fir this, and it works great)
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
1 tsp minced garlic
1 Tb. vegetable oil
salt to taste
Whisk marmalade, orange juice, vinegar, gingerroot and pepper flakes together in a smalle bowl
Saute garlic in a saucepan with oil over medium high heat for 30 seconds. Add marmalade mixture and saute until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
