SEARED FISH WITH BEET SALSA
I made this with cod, but you can also use a firmer fish, which you can grill or broil as well as sear and bake, as I do in this recipe. Cut the beets and apple very small - about 1/8 inch dice. The sweet crunch of the apple contributes texture and juice to the tangy/pungent salsa, which is delicious with all sorts of foods, not just fish. If you're vegetarian or vegan, try it with grains; it's especially nice with red quinoa.

Steps:
- Combine all of the ingredients for the salsa in a medium bowl. Stir together, taste and adjust salt. Set aside for 30 minutes or longer.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy ovenproof skillet over high heat and add the oil. Tilt the pan to film the bottom. Add the fish fillets and cook for 1 minute, or until you can easily slide a spatula underneath and turn the fish over (you may have to do this in two batches so that you don't crowd the fish).
- Turn the fish over and place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet (5 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness), until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart with the tines of a fork. Remove from the heat and transfer to plates or a platter. Squeeze lime juice over each piece of fish and serve, garnishing each serving with a generous spoonful of salsa.

Steps:
- Wearing rubber gloves to avoid staining your hands, peel the beet. Coarsely grate the beet into a large glass or ceramic bowl.
- Combine the mustard and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir the mustard mixture, dill and shallot into the grated beets. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size, with smooth skin and deep red color. Avoid beets that are large, have blemishes, or are spongy to the touch.
- Roast the beets: Roasting the beets brings out their natural sweetness and intensifies their flavor. To roast the beets, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the tops and roots of the beets, then toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salsa will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapenos for the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the salsa: The salsa should be cooked just until the flavors meld together, but not so long that the vegetables become mushy. Overcooked salsa will lose its fresh flavor and texture.
- Adjust the heat level to your taste: If you like spicy salsa, add more jalapenos or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder salsa, omit the jalapenos or use less cayenne pepper.
Conclusion:
This beet salsa is a delicious and healthy way to add some flavor to your meals. It's perfect for serving with chips, tacos, burritos, or grilled meats. The sweetness of the beets pairs perfectly with the acidity of the tomatoes and the spiciness of the jalapenos. This salsa is also a great source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack or condiment, give this beet salsa a try.
