It's good, I promise.

If you're like me and you A) always have some tilapia hanging out in your freezer and a lonely orange in your fridge, B) have more cherry tomatoes than you know what to do with, and C) want a fast, healthy recipe for Tuesday nights after yoga, you may want to listen up.

I found this recipe in my newest Women's Day magazine:


Total Time: 15 minutes

Serves: 4

For a lighter take on winter cooking, try this bright-tasting fish dish. Sautéing the tomatoes (the grape variety are best in colder months) and orange slices bring out the sweetness of both, and the combo pairs terrifically with cooked ginger and garlic.

Recipe Ingredients

• 1/2 cup whole-wheat couscous
• 1 large orange
• 3 tsp olive oil
• 4 small tilapia fillets (about 1½ lb)
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 1/2-in. piece fresh ginger, very thinly sliced
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced

Recipe Preparation

1. Cook the couscous according to package directions. Cut away the peel and white pith of the orange. Working over a bowl, cut the orange into segments, adding them to the bowl along with any juices.
2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the tilapia with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
3. Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 2 tsp oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, until beginning to break down, about 3 minutes. Add the oranges and any juices and gently toss to heat through. Serve with the tilapia and couscous and sprinkle with the scallions.

It is really. Good. Really good. My husband even said he'd serve it for company. I thought it might be nice if we tied it up in parchment bundles and served it when friends come over.

If you make it, let me know how you like it!
