Tilapia with Mango Salsa Recipe
Serves/Makes: 2
Ingredients:
- 1 pound tilapia fillets
- 1 ripe mango (approximately 1 1/2 cup when diced)
- 1/4 cup of red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup beer
- 4 teaspoons canola oil
- Start by making the mango salsa. Dice the mango, and chop the red onion and the fresh cilantro into fine pieces.
- Place the mango, the onion and the cilantro in a bowl and add rice vinegar and lime juice.
- Mix the ingredients carefully to a salsa consistence and let the salsa stand for at least 15 minutes.
- Place all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, ground cumin, salt and cayenne pepper in a bawl. If you are sensitive to strong spices you can add 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper instead of 1/4 teaspoon.
- Stir the dry ingredients and add the beer.
- Whisk the mixture until you have created a batter.
- Cut the tilapia fillets in half lengthwise if they are not already cut.
- Use the beer mixture to coat the tilapia fillets.
- Pour 2 teaspoons of canola oil into a large non-stick frying pan and heat up the oil using medium-high heat.
- Let any surplus beer mixture drip off one of the tilapia fillets and place the fish in the frying pan.
- Fry the tilapia until it is crispy on the outside and looks golden. It will usually take 2-4 minutes per side.
- Place the tilapia fillet on a serving dish and cover it loosely with aluminium foil to keep it warm.
- Let any surplus beer mixture drip off another tilapia fillet and give it the same treatment as the first one. Use the remaining 2 teaspoons of canola oil when you fry it. Repeat until all the fish is fried, using more canola oil if necessary.
- Serve the tilapia with mango salsa. Stir the mango salsa before you place it on the serving dish. In Africa, tilapia with mango salsa is often combined with couscous but
- Tilapia with mango salsa also tastes well with rice or mashed potatoes.
