Peach Marinade for fish

Yes, you read the title correctly.

I know it looks disgusting. I know you've probably never heard of using peaches as a marinade for fish, or any meat for that matter.

Yes, I know it sounds weird. But this is definitely delicious and worth making during the summer when you have a ton of fresh peaches on hand.


Sorry the picture is kind of lame. I was really hungry.

Peach Marinade for Tilapia (or fish of choice)
recipe adapted from How Sweet It Is

2 peaches, pitted
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil
4 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 tilapia filets
1 red onion, chopped

Combine peaches, olive oil, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor and process until very well combined.
Put tilapia filets and peach marinade in a ziplock bag and wrap in plastic wrap.
Place in your refrigerator overnight, or for at least 12 hours.

Layer chopped red onion, tilapia, and some marinade on aluminum foil and form into a packet.
Grill for 10 minutes, or until fish flakes.

Want to do it in the oven: Alright! Preheat to 435 degrees and cook for 12-15 minutes, until fish flakes.
