This is one of my new favorites. Made this for the 1st time on Friday and I LOVED it. Husband liked it – said the fish was delicious but he didn’t love the pineapple salsa. He doesn’t like the salty/sweet in same bite thing but I LOVE that (hello…popcorn and M&Ms at the movies!) so I am SO totally making this a lot this summer and he can just not eat the salsa (more for me!)
For pineapple salsa:
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1/3 cup diced Roma tomatoes
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Combine ingredients in a medium bowl and refrigerate until ready.
Fish:
1/2 lb tilapia fillets (2 large fillets)
1 tbsp Canola oil
Flour or Wondra
Chili powder
Garlic powder
Salt and pepper
Fresh lime juice and wedges
Rinse and pat dry the fillets. Season them with salt, pepper, chili and garlic powders. Dredge in flour. I also toss a little of the seasoning in the flour.
In a large pan, heat the oil. When hot, saute the fillets for about 2 1/2 – 3 minutes per side – depending on the thickness. You want them to be golden. (mmm…gold…)
Remove from heat and drizzle with additional lime juice. Spoon the pineapple salsa over the fillets and serve with lime wedges. I served over jasmine rice. YUM. Seriously. YUM.
And takes pretty much no prep or cook time. And tilapia is generally easy to find so there is no reason to not eat this a LOT!
