Citrus Tilapia En Papillote Recipes

TILAPIA EN PAPILLOTE (TILAPIA IN PARCHMENT)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a baking sheet so that the bottoms of the packets will brown when baked.
• Prepare 4 sheets of parchment paper by folding each sheet in half and placing a tilapia fillet centered onto one side of the fold of each sheet. Season the tilapia with salt and black pepper. Top the fillets with equal amounts of tomato, garlic, basil, and capers. Sprinkle lemon juice over the fillets. Place 1 tablespoon butter atop the fish. Drizzle white wine over the fillets.
• Roll up the sides of the paper first, then the top, leaving 1/2-inch space along one edge; fold to seal. Grease the bottoms of the packets with 1 tablespoon butter and arrange on the baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

ORANGE TILAPIA

Steps:

• Pour 1 1/2 cups orange juice into a resealable plastic bag. Add tilapia fillets, coat with the juice, squeeze bag to remove excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 3 hours to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk butter, panko bread crumbs, 3 tablespoons orange juice, garlic, and basil together in a bowl.
• Remove tilapia from the orange juice and shake to remove excess liquid; arrange fillets in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Discard marinade.
• Pour 1/2 cup orange juice over the tilapia fillets. Spread butter mixture over the top of the filets to cover each completely.
• Bake in preheated oven until the liquid is bubbling and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
