How to Make Zesty Grilled Tilapia
- Place the tilapia fillets in a large, non-metallic dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 6 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons orange zest, ¼ cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste), 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the marinade over the tilapia fillets, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.
- While the fish marinates, prepare your grill to medium-high heat.
- Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the tilapia from the marinade and brush lightly with additional olive oil.
- Grill the tilapia for approximately 5 minutes per side per inch of thickness, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Adjust grilling time based on the thickness of your fillets.
- Serve immediately with Coconut Mango Rice (recipe not included). Enjoy!
