Chipotle Honey Glazed Tilapia

Chipotle Honey Glazed Tilapia

Chipotle peppers have been one of my favorite spicy ingredients to experiment with this year.  This chipotle honey glaze really makes this fish stand out. 

Recipe adapted from Food Network

Ingredients-

6 tilapia filets

1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (more if you like spice)

2 tablespoons honey

2 scallions white and green parts

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper

Coleslaw  (I made a Chipotle Honey Coleslaw to serve with this)

Lemon wedges

Directions:

  1. Put chipotle pepper, honey, scallions, 2 tablespoons of oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor.  Pulse until it is a smooth mixture.

  3. Preheat grill to medium heat.  Grill the tilapia for 3-4 minutes per side.
