Orange Juice Fish

I have never been a big one for making fish dinners, but it is supposed to be good for you so I thought I’d give it a try.   Our local market had a sale on tilapia, which I have heard is firm white fish with a mild flavor. The fish cooked in the 8 minutes suggested and was flaky and moist.  The method of cooking the tilapia with orange juice and green onion in the foil packets  gave the fish a delicate, citrus flavor.  My family gave this recipe a solid “thumbs up”!

Orange Juice Fish

3 Tablespoons orange juice

2 teaspoons orange zest

4 - 6 Tilapia fillets

2 Tablespoons white wine

2 minced garlic cloves

¼ cup chopped green onion

2 Tablespoons fresh parsley or  2 teaspoons dried parsley

2 Tablespoons olive oil

Orange, thinly sliced

Heat the grill.  Cut a 10-inch square of heavy-duty foil for each tilapia fillet.

In a bowl, whisk together the oil, orange juice, zest, white wine, and garlic until blended.  Stir in the green onion and parsley.  Season the fillets with salt and pepper.  Place one fillet in the center of a foil square.  Repeat with remaining fillets.  Pour the orange juice mixture evenly over the fillets.

Top each fillet with an orange slice and seal the edges of the foil squares to form a packet.  Grill for 8 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
