Spicy Orange Ginger Tilapia


Serves 3-4

1lb tilapia fillets
1 small clementine orange (16g carbs/7g fiber)
1/2tsp fresh grated ginger(less than 1g carbs)
1/4tsp chili garlic paste(less than 1g carbs)
approx 10 cilantro leaves(less than 1g carbs)
2T water
pinch each salt and pepper

Pat fillets dry and place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with olive oil cooking spray.
Preheat oven (I used a toaster oven) to 400f.
Finely zest the orange, then peel and separate 1/2 into segments. Cut 1/2 the segments into 3 pieces each and set aside.
In a small food processor place remaining orange, water, ginger, garlic chili paste, cilantro and salt and pepper.
Process until smooth.
Divide the mixture evenly over the fillets, then divide the cut up segments on top. Spray lightly with olive oil spray.
Bake uncovered for 15 minutes until fish is cooked through.

For 4 servings this is just over 4g carbs(not net)and 110 calories per serving.
*If you prefer this to be sweet and hot, add 1/2pk splenda when blending.
