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.

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

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.

    I really enjoyed the flavours of this dish. I baked mine with the marinade instead of grilling it and it was very moist and one of the best talapia recipes I've tried! I didn't make the rice, so no review for that.

    I made this recipe and was disappointed. I made this for the fish. The ginger and orange sounded like a nice combination, but it turned out to be very bland. I did not make the rice, as I had my own recipe for coconut rice and used that.

    This was so different than anything I've ever eaten before! The tilapia and rice complement each other very nicely. I might put more hot sauce with the marinade next time. I actually used a cup of minute rice, and it turned out fine...tasted like sweet rice; I also could not find "cocunut milk" so I used an 8.5 oz can of "cream of coconut" instead. The rice is very sweet...reminds me of peach cobbler when eaten by itself.
