Honey Lime Tilapia

By lkoss

Ingredients

• 4 (4-5oz) tilapia fillets (thawed if frozen)
• 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
• 1/2 c flour (I tried both white flour and whole wheat pastry flour with good results)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1-2 Tbsp olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

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

When ready to cook, combine flour with salt and pepper on a plate. Remove each fish fillet 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.
