I found this recipe in a seafood cookbook years ago, and itâs been one of my favorites. The refreshing, slightly spicy salsa is a delightful complement to the fish. Beth Fleming, Downers Grove, Illinois Ingredients:
2 cups cubed fresh pineapple |
2 green onions, chopped |
1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper |
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro |
4 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons lime juice, divided |
1/8 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
dash cayenne pepper |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
8 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each) |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the pineapple, onions, green pepper, cilantro, 4 teaspoons lime juice, 1/8 teaspoon salt and cayenne. Chill until serving.
2. Combine oil and remaining lime juice; drizzle over fillets. Sprinkle with pepper and remaining salt.
3. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill fish, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with salsa. Yield: 8 servings (2 cups salsa).
