Ingredients:
- 4 fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or salmon)
- ½ cup fresh orange juice
- Zest of 1 orange
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (ensure it’s suitable for your dietary needs)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
- Orange slices for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
- Season the Fish:
- Pat the fish fillets dry using paper towels.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Cook the Fish:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook for approximately 3–4 minutes per side, until they develop a golden-brown crust and easily flake with a fork.
- Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, pour in the prepared orange sauce mixture.
- Let it simmer for about 2–3 minutes, allowing it to slightly thicken.
- Combine and Serve:
