Mango-licious Tilapia

Only within the last few years have I really learned to love eating fish and making it at home now too! I started out like some seared ahi and realized it was really good, to sushi, to cooked fished too.
 
This recipe caught my attention because when I cook fish, I do like bold flavors to accompany it.
 


Mango-licious Tilapia

4 tilapia fillets
2 TB olive oil
1 1/2 TB grated orange zest
1/4 cup of oj
Salt, pepper, & red pepper flakes to taste

1 avocado diced
