Citrus Glazed Tilapia
Ingredients
Olive or vegetable oil
1 pound tilapia filets
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons San-J Tamari Lite 50% Less Sodium Gluten Free Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
Preparation
Preheat the broiler.
Brush a baking sheet with oil. Brush both sides of the tilapia with oil and sprinkle with pepper. Broil until the fish flakes easily, about 7 minutes.
While the fish is cooking combine the remaining ingredients in a small pan and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 – 2 minutes or until the glaze is thick. Top the cooked fish with the glaze and serve.

Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat until the butter is melted. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, San-J Tamari Lite 50% Less Sodium Gluten Free Soy Sauce, garlic, pepper, and sugar. Mix to combine and let sit of 15 minutes.
