Beer-Battered Tilapia With Mango Salsa image

This is a recipe I've seen credited to EatingWell.com. I made some slight revisions: more spice, only whole wheat flour, dark beer, less vinegar and lime juice and mint in the salsa instead of cilantro. I omitted the salt entirely. I used a large, shallow frying pan so I was able to cook all the pieces at once.

Time 35m

Yield 4 pieces, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 mango, diced
1/4 cup red onion, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chopped
5 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup dark beer
3/4 lb tilapia fillet (2 fillets)
2 -3 tablespoons corn oil

Steps:

  • Combine the mango, onion, vinegar, lime juice and mint. Let sit in the fridge while preparing fish (if you can refrigerate it for an hour or more, that's even better).
  • Combine flour, spices, and beer. Using a whisk helps get any lumps out. Put the batter in a shallow dish.
  • Clean and dry the tilapia fillets. Cut in half length-wise.
  • Heat the oil in a large shallow frying pan at medium-high heat.
  • Coat each piece of fish with batter and place in hot oil.
  • Cook on each side for about 2-3 minutes - until batter is crusty and fish is white.
  • Place fish pieces on paper towels to blot excess oil.
  • Serve mango salsa over fish. (I also like to serve it with a side of roasted red potatoes).
  • NOTE: If you can't find a ripe mango, you can substitute one kiwi, a few large strawberries and a couple of chunks of pineapple.
