Honey Lime Tilapia

21 Dec 2014

Ingredients

For Fish Marinade:

4 (4-5 oz) Tilapia Fillets
Juice and zest of 1 lime
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 1/2 Tbsp. honey
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder

For Dredging and Cooking:

1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1-2 tbsp. olive oil

Cooking Instructions

Assemble marinade by combining lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a gallon sized ziplock bag or shallow container with a lid. Add fish and marinate in the refrigerator anywhere from 1 hour to 24 hours.

When ready to cook, combine flour with salt and pepper on a plate. Remove fish filet from the marinade and dredge lightly with the flour on both sides (just a light, light coating)

Heat 1-2 tbsp. olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook fillets 2 at a time for 3-4 minutes per side or until opaque and browned (this works best if you don't disturb the fish much while letting it cook)

Serve with lime wedges or peach salsa
