Monday, February 14, 2011



Is it time for your bi-weekly serving of Omega-3? This fish recipe is quick, easy, healthy and delicious! What more could you ask for?






Ingredients:
3-4 tilapia filets
1 mango, diced
4 fresh pineapple slices, diced
1 jalapeno with seeds, diced
small bunch of cilantro, chopped
juice of 1 lime

Dry rub for fish:
2 tblsp. chili powder
2 tblsp. paprika
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 tsp. salt

Directions:
Set oven temperature to 400 degrees.
Mix dry rub ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Mix mango, pineapple, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice. Place in fridge to chill.
Place fish in shallow baking dish and season generously with dry rub, covering top completely. You may need to double the dry rub recipe depending on how many filets you are cooking.
Slowly cover bottom of pan with 1/4 inch of water, being careful not to pour over fish. The water keeps the bottom of fish from burning and helps to retain moisture for a flaky, tender fish.
Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes.
Using a spatula, transfer fish filets to a plate. Top generously with mango-pineapple salsa.

Jasmine rice or asparagus accompanies this dish nicely...Que sabroso!
