4 Videos | Photo: Zesty Grilled Tilapia Recipe
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.
Yield: 6 servings

Not sure why this recipe has a 4 star rating. I prepared this dish for my family and after the first 2 bites of rice and fish I wanted to throw it in the garbage. I followed the recipe and even took some preparation advice from some of the other reviews. Both the rice and fish came out on the bland side. I was hoping for a "Yes!" after the first bite, but my palate gave me the "Nope!"
After reviewing the ingredients for both the fish marinade and the rice, it makes sense why this dish is so bland. The given ingredients look good on paper at first, but need a few other additional ingredients to help bring out a more robust flavor. Anyway, maybe I'm just a little bit of a food snob....so if you know that you're somewhat of a food snob then this is not the recipe for you.
