2 tablespoons diced peeled cucumber |
2 tablespoons diced tomato |
2 teaspoons diced red onion |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided |
4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets |
cooking spray |
lemon wedges |
Directions:
1. Combine first 7 ingredients. Stir in 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Cover salsa, and chill at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat grill.
3. Sprinkle fish fillets with remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place fillets on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve with salsa and lemon wedges.
