HONEY LIME TILAPIA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the honey, lime juice, and garlic. Season tilapia with salt and pepper, place in the bowl, and marinate 1 hour in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
• Arrange the squash and asparagus in the baking dish. Place tilapia on top of vegetables, and season with poultry seasoning. Discard remaining marinade.
• Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until vegetables are tender and fish is easily flaked. Sprinkle with mozzarella, and continue baking 5 minutes, or until cheese is lightly browned.

CRISPY HONEY LIME TILAPIA

Steps:

• 1. 60 minutes before cooking season tilapia filets with salt and pepper then lay in a baking dish or into a large ziplock bag.
• 2. In a bowl combine olive oil, honey, lime juice, zest, crushed garlic and whisk until combined.
• 3. Pour over tilapia and let marinate for an hour. Add flour a bit more salt, pepper and lime zest to a bowl and set aside.
• 4. Heat a cast iron or a nonstick skillet over medium high heat and add olive oil.
• 5. Dredge each piece tilapia through the flour until you have a very light coating.
• 6. Make sure the pan is hot. Add tilapia to the oil and cook until flaky and crispy on each side about 3-4 minutes per side.
• 7. Remove tilapia from pan and let drain on a paper towel for a few minutes. Serve with an additional drizzle of lime and honey.

Steps:

• 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.
