Best Recipe for Citrus Tilapia

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound tilapia fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice or high-quality store-bought orange juice
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Instructions

  1. On a plate, combine the flour and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the tilapia in the flour.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil and butter. When the butter has melted, add the fish and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden and just cooked through. Remove the fish and set aside.
  3. Add the orange juice, 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, and the ginger to the skillet. Increase the heat and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Taste and add lemon zest or more lemon juice if necessary. Return the fish to the skillet, coat with sauce, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through.
