Tilapia

I want to tell you about Tilapia, a delicious, healthy & very easy to cook fish, even for someone who rarely cooks fish.  Tilapia is a low-calorie, non-fishy tasting, white fish.  I've been able to find both fresh and frozen at most grocery stores.

Orange Citrus Tilapia over Rice
In a skillet place orange slices in the bottom and a little bit of water and heat for about 1 minutes.  Then add the pieces of tilapia in the pan.  Move around with a spatula and add water as needed to avoid burning the fish.   Serve over brown rice & add veggies on the side.
