Scale
- 2 tablespoons lime juice

- ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
- 3 tangerines, peeled and diced
- 2 scallions, sliced
- ½ red bell pepper, finely diced
- ¼ cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves
- 1 ½ pound tilapia fillet
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Whisk lime juice, honey, galangal and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Gently stir in tangerine, scallions, bell pepper and cilantro and set aside.
- Place tilapia in a large baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Sprinkle flour over the fish and turn to coat.
