Tilapia w/2 glazes (pic)

Chef Wil

here are a couple of pics of Tilapia, the first is with orange/cilantro glaze and the other is maple/butter glaze[p]
[p]recipe for orange/cilantro glaze is 18 oz. by weight of orange marmalade, 1 - 6 oz. can orange juice, 1 bunch cilantro, and 3 seeded jalapeno's........blended[p]the maple/butter glaze is the one everyone uses for salmon, 1/2 butter and 1/2 maple syrup

Chef Wil,
What temp / time / setup do you use to cook these?[p]The wife loves fish dishes... and it is rather cheap at Costco.... [p]Thanks[p]B

Chef Wil

Nardi,
Cooked at 375 direct. Tilapia cooks pretty quick, about 3 minutes per side. Season fish, cook skin side first then flip, brush on glaze of choice, when done remove and drizzle a little more glaze when serving.

Chef Wil,[p]That would have you putting the glaze on the skin side. Nah....yeah?[p]mShark

Chef Wil

MollyShark,
actually I said skin side but the fish is skinless, the rounded part of the fish make a better show than that of the bone side, and yes glaze on both sides, the cilantro really comes alive when partially carmelized.

Chef Wil,[p]Sigh..it's me. My brain has turned into a tilapia glaze of itself.[p]Both sounds fabulous. Sounds like a go for this evening![p]Thanks.[p]mShark

Wise One

Chef Wil, how much fish can be done with that glaze? DO you ever marinade it in the mixture first? Seasonings? Old standaard salt and pepper?

BlueSmoke

Chef Wil,[p]Just so I understand completely... For the orange/cilantro, you added OJ concentrate without thinning it, right? Sure looks delicious.[p]Ken

Chef Wil

Wise One,
maple/butter = 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp maple syrup per 2 filets[p]orange/cilantro makes about 3 cups[p]any seasoning or rubs that suit you, and I never marinated fish because I prefer a little crust from the rub

Chef Wil

BlueSmoke,
no, it is unsweetened orange juice, but honestly 1 tbsp of concentrate would make it better or should I say give it a more defined flavor. Works great on chicken parts also.

Chef Wil,
Thanks! Glad I thought to check.[p]Ken
