Another use for Orange Marmalade!

Seriously, I love Orange Marmalade.  I use it to make all kinds of things.  Sauces, stir fries, salad dressing...  it is great stuff.  Anyway, so the meal plan called for Citrus Glazed Tilapia, and I was planning on doing a recipe from Cooking Light, but then I got home super late and was just banging things around trying to get food to mouth as quickly as possible, and didn't have patience for an actual recipe.

So....


Enter Orange Marmalade.  And my other favorite recipe condiment, Chili Garlic Sauce.


Spicy Orange Glazed Tilapia... as made up by me, just now
Nouns:
Frozen Tilapia, as many fillets as you think you will eat, thawed, rinsed and patted dry
3 tbsp orange marmalade
1/2 tsp chili garlic sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp rice wine vinegar (or lemon juice, or water, or whatever... )

Verbs:
Fire up the ol' toaster oven to 450.  Mix together all the ingredients except the tilapia in a bowl.  Line the toaster oven pan with tin foil and grease it a little to prevent sticking if you worry about that kind of thing.  Stick your fillets on the pan and schmear them with your marmalade mixture.  Bake at 450 for 5-8 minutes or until cooked through.  Do not overbake your tilapia!  Dry tilapia is ucky.  Seriously, it takes mere minutes to cook it all the way through.

I served this with a simple salad of spring greens with a homemade lemon vinaigrette and some brown rice.  It were delicious.  And fast.
