Roasted Tiplapia with Orange-Parsley Salsa

Another fish recipe - I have been going crazy with the seafood lately! This is a recipe I personally did not try - it looked like it would have too much of a fish taste. However, Jason reassured me it was quite good. This is probably one of the easiest recipes -if you can call it that- I have ever made. You roast the tilapia, open a can of mandarin oranges, rip up some parsley, and you're done!
