So the second day of pantry challenge has been good. But I did almost cave and buy a coffee this morning. -meanwhile, I have tons of coffee at home. Lunch was leftovers from last night and for dinner we used our rice medley- white, brown, black and quinoa, brussels sprouts and a tilapia dish!
The tilapia was adapted from cooking light. As usual I used what I had on hand and it still turned out delicious.
Sweet and Spicy Tilapia:
Ingredients: 2 tilapia filets
1/4 cup of fresh orange juice- I used honey tangerines
1 and 1/2 tablespoons of lime juice- i used lemon
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of EVOO
1 teaspoon of low sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
1/4 teaspoon of cumin- i used old bay instead :)
1/4 teaspoon of ground red pepper
2 cloves of garlic- crushed
1/4 teaspoon of paparika
Directions: I took my two tilapia filets out of the freezer and defrosted them all day. Then I mixed all the ingredients together and let the filets marinate for 40 min.
Preheat the oven to broil. Put the filets on a pan and put in oven 5-7 minutes. Then take the leftover sauce and heat it on the stove with a little bit of flour. Pull out tilapia put on whatever you are serving it with and pour sauce on top. M hated the brussels sprouts so i got extra!!
