Ingredients

4 tilapia fillets, patted dry
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 orange

Cut the orange and lemon in half. Juice one half of orange and one half of lemon. Slice the remaining half of each fruit.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Add fish to skillet. Turn fish over after edges begin to cook.
