1/3 c yellow cornmeal
2 t paprika
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 skinless tilapia fillets (6-8 oz each)
3 T olive oil
1/2 c prepared tomato salsa

Steps:

  • 1. In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal and paprika; season generously with salt and pepper. Separate fillets into thick and thin sides. Dredge each piece in cornmeal mixture, patting it on to coat completely. 2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high.

Transfer to a plate; sprinkle with salt, if desired, and cover loosely to keep warm. Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Repeat with remaining oil and fish. Serve with salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh tilapia fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Use a light touch when coating the tilapia fillets in cornmeal. Too much cornmeal will make the crust too thick and dry.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the tilapia fillets. This will prevent the fillets from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the tilapia fillets immediately after cooking. This will ensure that the crust is crispy and the fish is moist and flaky.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal-crusted tilapia with black beans and salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The tilapia is crispy on the outside and moist and flaky on the inside, and the black beans and salsa add a flavorful and healthy touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
