    Servings and Ingredients

    Ingredients
    Serves 2
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    2 (6-to-8-oz. each) Hy-Vee Rainforest tilapia fillets, patted dry
    ¾ tsp. sea salt, plus additional for seasoning
    2 tbsp. white balsamic vinegar
    ½ tsp. plus 1 tsp. orange zest, divided
    2 tbsp. fresh orange juice
    1 tbsp. Hy-Vee honey
    2 tsp. fresh thyme, plus additional for garnish
    ¼ tsp. Hy-Vee Dijon mustard
    ⅓ c. Gustare Vita olive oil
    1 mini cucumber, cut into thin ribbons
    ¼ c. fresh arugula
    3 oranges, segmented

    Things To Grab

    • Paper towels
    • Charcoal or gas grill
    • Whisk
    • Small bowl
    • Hy-Vee nonstick cooking spray
    • Grill basket
    • Meat thermometer
    • Silicone pastry brush

    Directions

    1. Sprinkle tilapia with 3/4 teaspoons sea salt. Let fish stand 15 minutes at room temperature. Preheat a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat.

    2. Meanwhile, combine balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon orange zest, orange juice, honey, thyme, and Dijon mustard. Whisk in olive oil. Season to taste with additional sea salt. Set half aside for vinaigrette. Add 1 teaspoon additional orange zest to remaining vinegar mixture for grilling sauce. 

    3. Place fish in a greased grill basket; brush with grilling sauce. Grill 6 to 9 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork (145 degrees), brushing halfway through with grilling sauce. 

    4. Toss together cucumber ribbons, arugula, and orange segments. Arrange mixture with fish on 2 serving plates. If desired, garnish with thyme sprigs. Drizzle with reserved vinaigrette.
