CARIBBEAN FISH WITH MANGO SALSA



Caribbean Fish With Mango Salsa image

Now for something completely different, how about a little Caribbean/Creole feel? This can be done with fish or with scallops and will wake up the little taste buds. Please forgive me, I am not a real recipe follower, and I change it around all the time. Hope this works for you, love to hear about it. I never wrote it as a recipe, sort of a seat of the pants guy. One item to complete it that I may add is Zatarain's Caribbean Rice®, and in this I add 1/2 red bell pepper and 1/4 cup of fresh pineapple.

1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons curry powder

1 teaspoon ground coriander
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground fennel seed
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
½ red bell pepper, chopped
½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Mix together the paprika, curry powder, cumin, allspice, ginger, coriander, salt, black pepper, fennel, and cayenne pepper in a bowl; set the spice mix aside.
  • In a bowl, lightly toss the mango, pineapple, red bell pepper, black beans, red onion, and cilantro in a bowl; pour lime juice over the mango mixture, and toss again. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
  • Whisk together the egg and milk in a bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, stir the panko crumbs with coconut. Stir about 1 tablespoon of the spice mix, or to taste, into the panko crumb mixture.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip tilapia fillets into the egg mixture, then press gently into the panko crumb mixture to coat both sides of fillets. Brush off any loose crumbs, then lay the fillets into the hot oil. Pan-fry until the fish is opaque inside and golden brown outside, 3 to 5 minutes per side or as needed. Serve with mango salsa.

GRILLED SEA BASS WITH TROPICAL SALSA



Grilled Sea Bass with Tropical Salsa image

Categories     Fish     Fruit     Tomato     Mango     Pineapple     Bass     Bell Pepper     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup 1/4-inch pieces peeled, cored pineapple
3/4 cup 1/4-inch pieces peeled, pitted mango
2/3 cup 1/4-inch pieces red bell pepper
1/2 cup 1/4-inch pieces seeded tomato
1/3 cup 1/4-inch pieces seeded English hothouse cucumber
1/3 cup 1/4-inch pieces red onion
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint
2 tablespoons minced seeded jalapeño chili
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
6 6-ounce sea bass fillets
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine first 10 ingredients in medium bowl; toss to blend. Season salsa with salt. Chill to blend flavors, at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours, tossing occasionally.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush fish with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until just opaque in center, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plates. Top with salsa and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fish: Fresh fish will have a firmer texture and better flavor than frozen fish.
  • Choose the right fish: Not all fish are created equal. Some fish, like salmon and tuna, are better suited for spicy dishes than others, like tilapia or cod.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Overcooked fish will be dry and tough. Cook the fish until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality salsa: The salsa is a key component of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality salsa. Look for a salsa that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of flavors.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The fish will start to dry out if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Spicy fish with tropical salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of spicy fish and sweet salsa is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish can be served on its own or with rice, beans, or vegetables.
