GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED TILAPIA & FRESH FRUIT SALSA #RSC



Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Tilapia & Fresh Fruit Salsa #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. I love this recipe because it really reflects what my family and I love about of summer. Fresh flavors, vibrant colors, the sweet fruits of the summer harvest, juicy, succulent, and surprisingly filling, mixed with the clear, cool water taste of a white fleshed fish fillet, and the smokey flavor of apple wood smoked bacon. Grilled on charcoal, how can you go wrong? Yum! I am sad to see summer leaving but this, grilled on a warm autumn day will make reminisce of those wonderful days of BBQ's with friends and family. For a refreshing drink to to have along side, a freshly made lime margarita or a tall glass of iced tea, or for the children limeade. Complete the meal with pieces of grilled watermelon for a light and interesting dessert! I hope you enjoy!

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 Fish Fillets with about 1/2 cup salsa each, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Reynolds Wrap Foil
4 large unfrozen tilapia fillets
8 slices apple wood smoked bacon
1 dash pepper
1 dash garlic powder
1 lime, halved
2 large fresh yellow peaches
1 small sweet onion
1 small red bell pepper
1 teaspoon honey
salt and pepper
1 bunch fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For the Salsa: Find the butt of the peach and slice the peach all the way around the pit. Twist to release the flesh from the pit, and remove the pit from the other half of the flesh by prying it loose with a spoon. Do this with the other peach and set aside.
  • Mince the onion and the red bell pepper and pour them in a medium sized bowl. Chop the peach halves into bite sized pieces and pour in with the onion and pepper. Squeeze the juice from one of the lime halves over the peaches, onion, and peppers, followed by the honey, and season to taste with the salt and pepper. Mince the cilantro and add to taste. Mix thoroughly, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes, at least.
  • For the Tilapia Fillets: Ready the grill with enough charcoal to burn around 375 to 425 degrees for at least 30 - 45 minutes. Accumulate charcoal to be sure that the heat is concentrated mostly in the middle.
  • Wrap the tilapia fillets in two slices of bacon a peice, drizzle with lime juice from the other half the sliced lime, to taste. Season to taste with pepper and garlic powder. Place the tilapia fillets onto a sheet of Reynolds Wrap Alluminum Foil. Fold the wrap in half, longway, fold one side over the other to create a seal. Turn and fold the open sides to create two more seals.
  • Place indirect from the heat on the charcoal grill, seal side up and grill until the fish fillets are flakey and the bacon is thoroughly cooked, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat and let set a moment before opening.
  • Top the fillets with fresh peach salsa and close the wrap to warm the salsa through but not to cook. Serve in the alluminum foil on a large plate with grilled sliced seasoned tomatoes and a grilled flour tortilla. Garnish with more peach salsa and a sprig of cilantro.

GRILLED ANGELFOOD CAKE WITH FRESH FRUIT SALSA



Grilled AngelFood Cake with Fresh Fruit Salsa image

I don't really care for Angel food cake but thought I'd play around with it to see if I could find a way to atleast tolerate it. This was simple and rather tastey!

Provided by Kristin Miller

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 prepare angelfood cake
FRUIT SALSA
1 c chopped cantelope or honey dew melon, or half a cup of each
1/2 c strawberries chopped
1/2 c blueberries
1 c rasberries
1/2 c blackberries
1/4 c sugar
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped
1/8 tsp cayenne (optional if you want a little heat)
GARNISH
sherbet or sorbet, any flavor you prefer

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, mix fruits, sugar, lime juice, mint and cayenne (if you are adding heat). Cover and refrigerate a couple of hours before serving. You can also do this the night before and the flavors can blend completely!
  • 2. Prepare and preheat grill. I did use some foil on my grill but spraying with cooking spray is okay as well.
  • 3. Slice angelfood cake horizontally, place cut side down on grill.
  • 4. Grill for about 30-60 seconds or until light golden brown. Carefully flip cake and grill for another 30-60 seconds until golden brown. DO NOT LEAVE CAKE UNATTENDED, IT WILL BURN FAST!!!
  • 5. Cut cake into about 8 pieces, top with fruit salsa and a scoop of sherbet.

Tips:

- Choose ripe, flavorful fruits: Use ripe, in-season fruits for the best flavor. Avoid fruits that are bruised or have blemishes. - Use a variety of fruits: Combine different fruits with different colors, textures, and flavors to create a vibrant and delicious salsa. - Add some heat: If you like a little heat in your salsa, add some chopped jalapeño or serrano pepper. Start with a small amount and increase to taste. - Balance the flavors: Adjust the amount of lime juice, salt, and sugar to taste. You want the salsa to be flavorful but not too sour, salty, or sweet. - Chill before serving: Refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. - Serve with your favorite chips: Fruit salsa is great with tortilla chips, pita chips, or even crackers.

Conclusion:

Fresh fruit salsa is a refreshing and flavorful dip or condiment that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, customizable, and always a crowd-pleaser. Experiment with different fruits and flavors to find your perfect combination. Serve it with your favorite chips or crackers and enjoy!
