It is very high in protein and very low in fat.<\/p>\n<p>Because the majority of the tilapia found in your local fish market are farm raised, it is relatively inexpensive. Versatile and adaptable to many cuisines,\u00a0recipes and cooking styles, tilapia has become a favorite in many home kitchens and with professional chefs.<\/p>\n<p>Adaptable and affordable, tilapia is often substituted for more expensive fish like sole and flounder. Tilapia does not have a distinctive taste of its own, so it is a perfect fish to use in recipes that use marinades.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the recipe!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/themusclecook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/citrustilapia.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-387\" src=\"https:\/\/themusclecook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/citrustilapia.jpeg\" alt=\"citrustilapia\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themusclecook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/citrustilapia.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/themusclecook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/citrustilapia-300x113.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/themusclecook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/citrustilapia-300x113@2x.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Makes 4 Servings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 1 pound fresh tilapia fillets<br \/>\n\u2013 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil<br \/>\n\u2013 1 Tbsp. lime zest<br \/>\n\u2013 1\/4 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice<br \/>\n\u2013 1\/4 cup orange juice (preferably freshly-squeezed)<br \/>\n\u2013 1\/2 thai red pepper (optional, only if you like it spicy)<br \/>\n\u2013 1 tsp. seasalt<br \/>\n\u2013 1\/2 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper<\/p>\n<p><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
