Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
4 1/8 teaspoons Creole seasoning
1 cup diced peeled cored pineapple
1 cup diced peeled pitted mango
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced red onion
6 cups mixed baby greens
4 5- to 6-ounce golden trout fillets with skin

Steps:

  • Whisk 4 tablespoons oil, lime juice, sugar, ginger, and 1/8 teaspoon Creole seasoning in small bowl to blend. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper. Combine pineapple, mango, bell pepper, and red onion in large bowl. Add half of vinaigrette; toss to coat. Toss greens in medium bowl with remaining vinaigrette.
  • Brush trout fillets with 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with remaining 4 teaspoons Creole seasoning, about 1/2 teaspoon per side, then salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add trout fillets and cook until just opaque in center and browned, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Divide greens among 4 plates. Place trout fillets and salsa alongside.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe fruit: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be.
  • Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits to create your own unique salsa. Some popular combinations include mango, pineapple, strawberry, kiwi, and papaya.
  • Add some heat: If you like your salsa with a little kick, add some chopped jalapeño or serrano pepper. You can also use chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, mint, and basil can add a lot of flavor to your salsa. Chop them finely and add them just before serving.
  • Let the salsa chill: Once you've made your salsa, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Mixed fruit salsa is a delicious and refreshing dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. It's also a great way to use up ripe fruit that you might otherwise let go to waste. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, try making a batch of mixed fruit salsa. You won't be disappointed!
