Mango habanero glazed tilapia with rice
These glazed tilapia fillets cook in minutes and need only rice and a vegetable to make dinner. The mango and habanero bring heat and sweetness to mild fish, and the glaze sets up as it rests. Weeknight simplicity.

To buy
- 4 oz bok choy or spinach
From your shelf
- 8 oz total mango habanero glazed tilapia fillets
Staples
- 1 tablespoon oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 2/3 cup rice
- Bring 1 and 1/3 cups water to a boil in a small pot with a pinch of salt. Stir in 2/3 cup rice, return to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let sit covered while you cook the fish.
- Set a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. When the pan is hot, place the tilapia fillets skin-side up and cook for 3 minutes. Turn and cook skin-side down for another 3 minutes until the fillets are opaque and the glaze is caramelizing at the edges.
- Transfer the tilapia to a plate and let rest for 2 minutes so the glaze sets. While the fish rests, add the bok choy to the same skillet with a splash of water, salt, and pepper, stirring often until just tender, about 3 minutes.
Note Swap white fish like halibut for the tilapia. Leftovers keep refrigerated for one day; reheat gently in a low oven. Serve with lime wedges and extra rice to soak up the glaze.
