1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional)

1 1/2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1/4 cup orange juice

crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
Directions:

4. Pat tilapia fillets dry on a paper towel. Place them in the baking dish and turn to coat them in the seasoning mixture. Arrange tilapia in a single layer and bake 10 - 12 minutes, or until fish flake easily.
5. Serve cooked fillets with prepared salsa.
