Honey Lime Tilapia

4 tilapia filets

Marinade mix:
2 T lime juice
1 T olive oil
1 1/2 T honey
1/2 t salt
1/2 t pepper
1 clove garlic (finely minced)

Marinade tilapia filets 1-4 hours in an airtight bag rotating back and forth in refrigerator.

Coating and cooking:
1/2 c all purpose flour or whole wheat flour
1/4 t salt
1/4 t black pepper
1t chili lime Trader Joe's seasoning

Before cooking, whisk together the flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish like a pie plate. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until rippling and hot. Dredge each tilapia fillet in the flour, coating both sides lightly. Cook the fillets for 3-5 minutes per side without moving the fish while it cooks on each side; this will ensure a more even browning. Adjust the cooking time as needed depending on the thickness of the tilapia and the heat of the skillet and work in batches if necessary so the skillet isn't overcrowded.
