\nTilapia with Corn Salsa:
\n<\/strong>
\n3 tbsp. unsalted butter
\n3 tilapia filets
\n1 tsp. sea salt
\nPepper
\nChili Powder<\/p>\n

1 tbsp. olive oil
\n1 cup drained canned yellow corn
\n1\/2 red onion – chopped in large chunks
\n1 jalapeno, finely minced
\n3\/4 cup fresh mint leaves. roughly chopped
\njuice of 2 limes (about 1\/4 cup)<\/p>\n

Place the red onion, jalapeno, mint leaves and lime juice in a bowl. Set aside.<\/p>\n

Rinse and pat dry filets. Sprinkle both sides of the filets with sea salt, pepper and chili powder.<\/p>\n

Set a large skillet over medium heat. Once it\u2019s hot, add the olive oil and the corn kernels. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the corn is just tender. Leave the heat on while you transfer the corn to the bowl with the other salsa ingredients and give everything a big stir.<\/p>\n

Return the pan to the heat and melt the butter. Add the filets and half-cover the skillet, allowing some steam to circulate and some to escape. Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes, then carefully and gently flip the filets. Add the bowl of salsa ingredients and cook with the fish for an additional 3-4 minutes or until it\u2019s just cooked through at the thickest part. Remove fish to a serving plate or plates and top with the corn salsa. I picked the giant hunks of onion out as I HATE onions but thought it might add to the flavor!<\/p>\n

I won’t any awards for presentation but hey -this isn’t a restaurant :) If you check the original recipe, you can see I did change things so up to you which you want to try. But my way was **extremely** delicious :)<\/p>\n

Served the fish with this corn:<\/p>\n

Cuban\/Mexican Grilled Corn<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grated cotija cheese (If you can’t find it, substitute with grated Queso Fresco or Italian Parmesan or Greek feta)
\nLight Mayonnaise (I bet non-fat would work too but no good reason for full fat!)
\nCayenne pepper or chili powder
\nLime wedges<\/p>\n

There are many methods of grilling corn and you may already have a favorite technique. For this recipe, we peeled off entire husks and wrapped in foil. Normally I’d soak the corn first and brush with olive oil and spices but I wanted to try a more charred version and not change the flavors of this recipe so did not do that this time. You grill for about 10-15 minutes depending how hot you’ve gotten your grill. Just watch it.<\/p>\n

Brush on a light layer of mayo. Sprinkle desired amounts of cotija cheese and cayenne chili powder. Serve with lime wedges. Husband did most the work on this since I do not man the grill so he gets credit although I did find the recipe and do all the prep work ;)<\/p>\n

You will seriously never want other corn again :) Although I do want to try the jalapeno butter also found in the recipe on it as well!<\/p>\n
