Marinate in a mix of orange juice, trader joe mango sauce (jar) and honey for a couple of hours. I make cuts in the fish both sides so that it really soaks in. You don't need all the above and if you like sweeter, use just honey. Crush pecans and layer it on top in a thin layer. For additional seasoning, orange peel (which you can buy or make yourself), parsley and paprika. Oven Bake 375 degrees for 35 minutes, adjust for thickness of the fish or if you have a convection oven. This is one of my favorite dishes and extremely healthy, no salt, high Omega's, etc. For bland types of white fish, e.g., haddock, tilapia, I like to spice it up a bit. Sometimes, I coat with oil and add black and white sesame seeds. This gives it a crunchy taste. Other times, blackened spice mix from Paul Prudome (but watch the sodium content). Another thing to try is peppercorns. I stole the idea from steak au poivre which I love. I also like making my own coating crumbs with just whole wheat flour and seasoning, dipping the fish in some egg and milk first. It's close to "fried" but a lot better for you in the oven than frying in my opinion. Another thing I've tried but don't have it here is to take a veal marsala recipe and just use fish. It's not the same consistency, but it comes out great, be liberal with mushrooms. I've been amazed how easy it is to do this stuff and just a little time spent before hand can make even the fussiest child into a fish eater. Too many of us grew up eating bland fish and hated it because it wasn't as greasy and fatty as meat and fried chicken.
