Tilapia with Oranges, Tomatoes and Toasted Garlic
Ingredients
1/2 cup(s) whole-wheat couscous
1 large orange
3 teaspoon(s) olive oil
4 small tilapia fillets (about 1½ lb)
Kosher salt and pepper
2 clove(s) garlic, thinly sliced
1 1/2 piece(s) fresh ginger, very thinly sliced
1 pint(s) cherry tomatoes, halved
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Directions
1. Cook the couscous according to package directions.
2. Cut away the peel of the orange. Cut the orange into segments, adding them to a bowl
along with any juices.
3. Heat 1 tsp oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
4. Season the tilapia with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and cook until opaque throughout,
1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
5. Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and
ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 1 minute.
6. Add the tomatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, about 3 minutes.
7. Add the oranges and any juices. Gently toss to heat through. Serve with the tilapia and
couscous and sprinkle with the scallions.
