1 Tbsp. lime juice
1 tsp. honey
Kosher salt and pepper
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1 orange
1 red grapefruit
1 avocado, diced
4 small tilapia fillets (about 1 3/4 lbs total)
2 Tbsp. olive oil

Directions

1. Step 1Cook rice per package directions. In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir in jalapeño and white parts of scallions.
2. Step 2Cut away the peel and white pith of orange and grapefruit. Cut them into small pieces and add to the bowl along with avocado; gently toss to combine.
3. Step 3Heat a large skillet on medium-high. Season tilapia with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and, working in batches, cook 2 fillets until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes more; transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and tilapia.
4. Step 4Serve fish over rice; top with salsa and sprinkle with green parts of scallions.
