TILAPIA WITH CORN SALSA

My family loves fish, and this super fast dish is very popular at my house. Though it tastes as if it takes a long time, it cooks in minutes under the broiler. We like it garnished with lemon wedges and served with couscous on the side. -Brenda Coffey, Singer Island, Florida

GRILLED TILAPIA WITH MANGO SALSA



Grilled Tilapia with Mango Salsa image

Don't let the list of ingredients fool you: this is super-easy, and gets rave reviews whenever I serve it. The salsa can be made the day ahead to save time. Strawberries can be substituted for the mango if you prefer--both are excellent! Combine leftover salsa with some drained black beans the next day for lunch.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ear corn, shucked
1 avocado, diced
⅓ cup diced fresh tomato
¼ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
¼ cup diced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
2 wedges lime, divided, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tilapia fillets
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 teaspoon chicken broth, or as needed
¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place corn on the preheated grill and cook, turning often, until charred all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and remove kernels when cool enough to handle.
  • Combine corn kernels, avocado, tomato, black beans, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno in a large bowl. Squeeze 1 lime wedge over top and season with salt and pepper. Store in the refrigerator until cold, about 30 minutes.

Tilt the skillet and baste with the butter until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 more minutes. Remove fish from the skillet.
  • Pour chicken broth into the pan and scrape the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Whisk in cream. Squeeze in another lime wedge, then taste and adjust for your desired level of tanginess. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
  • Serve fish with cold salsa, adding cream sauce to both, if desired.
