Tilapia with Orange Sauce

Citrus flavors go well with fish, that's what I was thinking when I searched up this recipe.  And it's a Cooking Light recipe, so how can it be bad for you?  There is a nice combination of flavors with the layers of citrus, balanced by salty tamari and a touch of sweetness.  Serve it with green beans and brown rice for an easy weeknight dinner.

4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets

2 teaspoons tamari sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Arrange fish in a single layer in a shallow roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Combine orange juice, lime juice, maple syrup, olive oil, tamari, salt, cumin, peppers, and garlic. Pour over fish. Let stand 15 minutes.
