Just like it sounds, chunks of fish breaded with orange sauce and flour then more orange sauce on top! Serve over just about anything or by themselves.

Ingredients

  • 4 Tilapia filets (from frozen is fine)
  • 3 Large Naval Organges
  • 1 Orange zest (use whole orange)
  • 1 tb butter (for roux)
  • 1 tb 4 (for roux)
  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil (For frying)
  • ¼ cup Chicken Broth

  • Spices

  • ¼ tsp Lawry's fire roasted chile and garlic blend
  • ¼ tsp Ginger Powder
  • ¼ tsp Cinnamon Powder
  • ¼ tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 clove Garlic (finley chopped)
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • 1 tb Chopped Basil

  • Breading

  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ tb Salt
  • ½ cup orange sauce
  • ½ tb pepper

Instructions

Keep screen awake
  • 1
    Zest an entire orange
  • 2
    Squeeze the juice from all three oranges into a bowl. Make sure to strain out any pulp
  • 3
    Add broth and orange juice to a pot on medium high heat
  • 4
    Add spices and garlic and bring to a simmer
  • 5
    While sauce is heating add butter and four to make a roux
  • 6
    Once sauce is simmering reduce heat to medium low and whisk in roux. Let reduce
  • 7
    Separate half of the sauce into another bowl. Put flour, salt, and pepper into another bowl. Then take thawed fish and cut into bite size chunks.
  • 8
    Drop fish chunks into separated sauce then into flour, coating lightly. Have oil heating up in a pan
  • 9
    Once all chunks are coated, whisk about 1 and 1/2 Tbs of the four used for breading into the sauce used for breading. Add the sauce back to the pot of remaining sauce and bring back to a simmer, whisking well.
  • 10
    Once oil is hot fry the fish nuggets to perfection. They will not have a very thick breading like chicken nuggets but it is worth it.
  • 11
    Once the nuggets are done you can serve them on a bed of rice, or grits, or vegetables, or by themselves. Either pour the orange sauce over the top or cover the nuggets in sauce first.
