Ingredients
-
1 ounce red achiote paste
2 teaspoons salad oil
1/4 cup orange juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lime, juice only
2 teaspoons apple cider (may sub apple juice)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (may sub Jugo Seasoning if you have it)

1 lb thin tilapia fillet

Mix achiote paste together all ingredients down to the salt/pepper.
Place fish in a shallow baking dish and pour achiote marinade over top.
Cover dish and place in fridge for 2 hours.
Remove fish from marinade (discard marinade) and place fish on cookie sheet; let stand at room temp for 15 minutes.
Turn oven broiler to high and let heat up for 3-5 minutes.

Serve fillets atop saffron rice or serve in corn torillas for excellent fish tacos.
