Citrus Tilapia

Citrus Tilapia
1 lb tilapia fillets
1 T olive oil
1 T butter
1/2 C freshly squeezed orange juice or high-quality store-bought orange juice
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 t grated fresh ginger
2 T all-purpose flour
salt
freshly ground black pepper

t = teaspoon
T = tablespoon
C = cup


On a plate, combine the flour and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the tilapia in the flour.

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 min. per side, or until golden and just cooked through. Remove the fish and set aside.

Add the orange juice, 2 T of the lemon juice, and the ginger to the skillet. Increase the heat and simmer for 1 to 2 min., or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Taste and add lemon zest or more lemon if necessary. Return the fish to the skillet, coat with sauce, and cook for 1 to 2 min., or until heated through.
