Spicy Citrus Tilapia

One of my best friends, Maxine, was visiting for a long weekend and we prepared a lovely dinner of tilapia and salad for our first meal together. She is also a fan of heat so I was free to be generous with the spice! I used one habanero and, as expected, it went a loooonnng way. Tilapia cooks very quickly which makes it perfect for week night meals. I have used tilapia in the past to make fried fish tacos, and while i didn't want to fry these fillets, I wanted the spicy and citruis flavor to stick so I used a bit of flour as a sort of glue. We ate this over some basmati rice and it was a wonderful combination! The rice offset the heat and made the bites more edible. With a squirt of lime, this dish is super flavorful!
