Fish fillets with papaya sauce

I love ripe papaya. When I saw this fish recipe with papaya I thought it would be so delicious. Yes, I was right. We loved it and I will make it again and again.
 This recipe is from cookbook called perfect Mexican
Ingredients
4 white fish fillet ( I used tilapia )
olive oil, for drizzling
juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
salt and pepper
lime wedges to garnish
for the papaya sauce
1 large ripe papaya
1 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp olive oil
1-2tsp  Tabasco sauce


Preparation Method
Preheat the oven to 350F. Place the fish in a shallow ovenproof dish. Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze over the lime juice. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the fish and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cover the dish tightly with foil and  bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, o until fish is just flaking.
Meanwhile, to make the sauce, halve the papaya and scoop out the seeds. Peel the halves and chop the flesh. Place the flesh in a food processor or blender and add the orange and lime juice, oil and tobasco to taste. Process until smooth.
Transfer the sauce to a pan and heat throughh gently for 3-4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve the fish fillets, in their cooking juices, with the sauce spooned over, garnished with lime wedges.
