TILAPIA WITH CORN SALSA
My family loves fish, and this super fast dish is very popular at my house. Though it tastes as if it takes a long time, it cooks in minutes under the broiler. We like it garnished with lemon wedges and served with couscous on the side. -Brenda Coffey, Singer Island, Florida
