Tilapia With Salsa Butter Recipes

TILAPIA WITH SPICY FRESH SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high and move the oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Place the tilapia on the baking sheet and pour the olive oil evenly over them.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Broil the fish until it flakes with a fork, about 4 minutes per side or so if your fish is thin. Turn it once during cooking.
• While the fish cooks, toss the tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, lime, cilantro and salt together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• When the fish comes apart easily, remove from the oven and transfer to plates; top with your desired amount of fresh salsa and serve warm.

TILAPIA WITH SALSA BUTTER

Steps:

• Rinse fish and pat dry.
• Cut into serving sized pieces, if necessary.
• Set aside.
• In small bowl, combine butter, 1 tablespoon salsa, lime zest, garlic, and cumin.
• Place fillets in single layer on foil lined baking sheet with sides.
• Brush butter mixture over fish.
• Tuck under any thin edges.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes per inch of thickness or about 8 minutes until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
• Place on serving platter.
• Top with additional salsa if desire.
• Serve immediately.

CAJUN TILAPIA WITH SOUTHWESTERN SALSA

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.
• Meanwhile, season tilapia on both sides with Cajun seasoning.
• Melt butter in a medium stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat; cook until just before butter begins to brown. Add tilapia and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 more minute. 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.
