Beer-Battered Tilapia With Mango Salsa image

This is a recipe I've seen credited to EatingWell.com. I made some slight revisions: more spice, only whole wheat flour, dark beer, less vinegar and lime juice and mint in the salsa instead of cilantro. I omitted the salt entirely. I used a large, shallow frying pan so I was able to cook all the pieces at once.

Time 35m

Yield 4 pieces, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 mango, diced
1/4 cup red onion, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chopped
5 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup dark beer
3/4 lb tilapia fillet (2 fillets)
2 -3 tablespoons corn oil

Steps:

  • Combine the mango, onion, vinegar, lime juice and mint. Let sit in the fridge while preparing fish (if you can refrigerate it for an hour or more, that's even better).
  • Combine flour, spices, and beer. Using a whisk helps get any lumps out. Put the batter in a shallow dish.
  • Clean and dry the tilapia fillets. Cut in half length-wise.
  • Heat the oil in a large shallow frying pan at medium-high heat.
  • Coat each piece of fish with batter and place in hot oil.
  • Cook on each side for about 2-3 minutes - until batter is crusty and fish is white.
  • Place fish pieces on paper towels to blot excess oil.
  • Serve mango salsa over fish. (I also like to serve it with a side of roasted red potatoes).
  • NOTE: If you can't find a ripe mango, you can substitute one kiwi, a few large strawberries and a couple of chunks of pineapple.

I'm not a fan of mango salsa, so I used a different salsa instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tilapia. I always have a few fillets in the freezer, and this is a quick and easy way to turn them into a delicious meal.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beer batter didn't turn out crispy. It was more like a pancake batter.

I had a hard time finding tilapia at my local grocery store. I ended up using cod instead, and it turned out great.

The tilapia was a bit overcooked, but the mango salsa was delicious.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some more spices to the beer batter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of fish, but this recipe changed my mind. The tilapia was so crispy and flavorful, and the mango salsa was the perfect accompaniment.

I loved the combination of the crispy tilapia and the fresh mango salsa. It was a great meal for a hot summer night.

The beer batter was light and airy, and the tilapia was cooked perfectly. The mango salsa was also delicious, with a nice balance of sweet and tangy flavors.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The tilapia was crispy and flavorful, and the mango salsa was a perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.
