Best 4 Beer Battered Tilapia With Mango Salsa Recipes

BEER-BATTERED TILAPIA WITH MANGO SALSA

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.

OVEN-FRIED FISH & CHIPS

Steps:

• Position racks in upper and lower third of oven; preheat to 425 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Set a wire rack on another large baking sheet; coat with cooking spray.
• Place potatoes in a colander. Thoroughly rinse with cold water, then pat dry completely with paper towels. Toss the potatoes, oil and 3/4 teaspoon Cajun (or Creole) seasoning in a large bowl. Spread on the baking sheet without the rack. Bake on the lower oven rack, turning every 10 minutes, until tender and golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, coarsely grind cornflakes in a food processor or blender or crush in a sealable plastic bag. Transfer to a shallow dish. Place flour, the remaining 3/4 teaspoon Cajun (or Creole) seasoning and salt in another shallow dish and egg whites in a third shallow dish. Dredge fish in the flour mixture, dip it in egg white and then coat all sides with the ground cornflakes. Place on the prepared wire rack. Coat both sides of the breaded fish with cooking spray.
• Bake the fish on the upper oven rack until opaque in the center and the breading is golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.

GRILLED TILAPIA WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, parsley, garlic, basil, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the tilapia fillets, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Prepare the mango salsa by combining the mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper in a bowl. Add the lime juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Remove the tilapia from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the fillets until the fish is no longer translucent in the center, and flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Serve the tilapia topped with mango salsa.
