Orange-Cilantro Marinade for Fish or Chicken

Orange-Cilantro Tilapia

The bold orange flavor is intensified with the addition of cilantro. Use on flaky white fish such as halibut, tilapia or mahi-mahi. Also great on chicken.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/2 an orange, juiced
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 jalapeno fresh, seeds removed

Preparation:

Blend all ingredients in the blender for 30 seconds or until almost smooth.

Place fish in bowl or large baggie and pour marinade over. Make sure the marinade coats the fish or chicken completely. If using chicken, spear with a fork several times to allow marinade to penetrate.

Leave in the refrigerator overnight. When it's ready, bake or grill fish until it is no longer translucent and is flaky. Bake or grill chicken until it reaches 170 degrees.

Nice change of pace..., Member sofritostar

made this tonight for tilapia! It was different than other marinades I have tried, but really fantastic. I don't even like cilantro, but the citrus juices blended it all together nicely. I can't wait to try it on chicken!
