Orange-Cilantro Marinade for Fish or Chicken

The bold orange flavour is intensified with the addition of cilantro. Use on flaky white fish such as halibut, tilapia or mahi-mahi. Also great on chicken.

* 1 tablespoon orange zest

* 1/2 an orange, juiced

* 1/4 cup oil

* 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves

* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 1 teaspoon oregano

* 1 tablespoon lime juice

* 1 jalapeno fresh, seeds removed

PREPARATION:

Blend all ingredients in the blender for 30 seconds or until almost smooth.

Place fish in bowl or large baggie and pour marinade over. Make sure the marinade coats the fish or chicken completely. If using chicken, spear with a fork several times to allow marinade to penetrate.

Leave in the refrigerator overnight. When it's ready, bake or grill fish until it is no longer translucent and is flaky. Bake or grill chicken until it reaches 170 degrees.
