ingredients
Marinade
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
6 (5 ounce size) tilapia fillets
Beans and Rice
3/4 cup long-grain rice
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, divided
3 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 cup chopped onions
2 oranges, peeled, seeded, coarsely chopped
1 can (28 ounce size) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (15 ounce size) black or pinto beans, drained, rinsed
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
directions
For the tilapia marinade, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, salt, and sugar in a shallow dish. Add tilapia and marinate 15 minutes, turning once.
To prepare the bean and rice mixture, cook the rice according to package directions and keep warm while the tilapia is marinating.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large, high-sided skillet or saucepan, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add garlic and onions; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring. Add cilantro, oranges, tomatoes, beans, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Cook, uncovered, until hot, 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Transfer hot rice to a 9x13-inch or 2 1/2-3 quart baking dish. Spoon the bean mixture on top of rice and gently blend. Slightly overlap tilapia fillets on top and scrape marinade over fillets. Bake until the flesh of the tilapia just begins to flake at the nudge of a fork, 16 to 20 minutes.

VERY surprised that my husband liked this but I believe primarily because I told him it was a dish similar to his mother's. He did get a fruit (oranges) and vegetable serving in to say the least (does not eat any fruit). However, I was a little confused with the ingredients to 'divide' because it doesn't say to use it now and the other half later or anthing.

This was really good, particularly the rice and beans. It was eye pleasing and there was a range of flavors. The recipe itself was a little tedious and more complicated than it should have been. I used less than the allotted cayenne but my husband said it still burned. I loved it and will definitely make it again.

I am Costa Rican. This dish is authentic, delicious, and easy. It is enjoyable by children and people of almost any preference. I highly recommend it!
