Tilapia Salpicon Recipes

TILAPIA MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Soak the fish in a bowl with the milk and 2 cups ice, 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the flour with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Lightly beat the eggs in another dish. Pulse the bread, parsley, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until crumbs form, then transfer to a third dish. One at a time, remove the fillets from the milk and dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the eggs, then coat with the breadcrumbs, gently pressing to coat both sides. Transfer to a large plate. Line a baking sheet with foil. Heat 2 tablespoons each olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 fillets and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 2 fillets, adding 2 more tablespoons each olive oil and butter. Transfer the fish to the oven and bake until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Toss the arugula with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve the fish with the salad and lemon wedges.

TILAPIA SALPICON TACOS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the fish with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When hot, add the fish and sear, flipping once, until golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Let the fish cool to warm, then shred with a fork. Toss the fish with the oil from the skillet along with the cilantro, lime juice, Worcestershire, jalapeño, onion, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use or for up to 8 hours.
• Wipe out the skillet and heat over medium-high. Add the tortillas, in batches, and cook, flipping once, until blackened in spots, about 30 seconds per side. Stack the tortillas as they finish and cover with a kitchen towel.
• Put out the tilapia mixture with the tortillas, lettuce, lime wedges, and sour cream so everyone can make their own tacos.
