Zesty Grilled Tilapia
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen, 2007

Ingredients
6 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
6 tablespoons olive oil, plus additional for brushing
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon hot sauce, to taste
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Mango Coconut Rice, recipe follows

Directions

Place the fish in a large nonmetal dish. Whisk
together the 6 tablespoons oil, the orange zest, orange juice, ginger, hot sauce,
salt, and pepper, to taste; pour over the fish. Cover and marinate in the
refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare grill. Brush the fish with additional oil. Grill until fish
just flakes when tested with a fork, about 5 minutes per side for each inch of
thickness.

Serve alongside Mango Coconut Rice.

Ingredients
Mango Coconut Rice:
1 tablespoon olive oil

1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
2/3 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 large ripe mango, peeled and cubed

Directions
In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high
heat. Add the rice and stir to coat with the oil. Add the coconut milk, water, and
salt; bring to a boil. Stir in the mango. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer
about 20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.

Remove the rice from the heat and fluff with a fork. Place a clean, dry dish towel
over the pan, cover with the lid, and let steam for 5 minutes before serving.
