Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds tilapia, 4 fillets
Coarse salt
Ground pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin, eyeball it
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika, eyeball it
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1 lime, halved
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 or 3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 to 10 tomatillos, husks peeled and diced
1/2 bottled pale beer
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves, a palmful, plus a few sprigs for garnish
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked
A sprinkle sugar
Dash cayenne pepper
Salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 ripe avocado
1 lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Season fish with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil, 1 turn of the pan. Heat an ovenproof serving plate in a warm oven. Saute fish 3 minutes on each side or until opaque. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lime over the fish and carefully slide the fillets onto warm platter. Cover the fish to keep it warm. Return pan to heat and add remaining tablespoon of oil, 1 turn of the pan. Over medium high heat, quickly saute the red onion, jalapeno and the garlic. Saute a minute or so, add the diced tomatillos with seeds and juices. Season mixture with coarse salt and saute the mixture of vegetables 5 minutes.
  • Once you get your sauce working, get a second skillet hot over moderate heat for your maque choux. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (1 turn of the pan,) chopped onion, jalapeno and red bell pepper. Saute 2 or 3 minutes. Working on a plate to catch the milky juices, scrape corn off the cob. Break up the kernels and pour into the skillet. Combine corn with peppers and onions. Season with a sprinkle of sugar, a dash of cayenne pepper and salt. When mixture bubbles, reduce heat to simmer. Cut butter into pieces and stir into corn mixture. Allow mixture to simmer and cook until creamy, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • While corn is working, go back to your sauce for the fish. Add the beer and the juice of 1/2 lime and cilantro to the pan. Simmer sauce 5 minutes longer, then spoon hot sauce down over the fish filets. Garnish platter with a few extra sprigs of the cilantro.
  • Cut avocados in 1/2 lengthwise and remove pits. Squeeze lime juice over the avocados to keep them from browning and season them with a little coarse salt. Arrange on the serving plate.
  • To serve, fill the avocados with maque choux, allowing the corn to spill down and over the sides of the avocado onto the serving platter. The ripe avocado is spooned away from its skin with bites of creamy, warm corn and peppers. Place the avocados alongside garnished fish and enjoy with lime sorbet topped with raspberries and Grand Marnier.

Categories     Mexican Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

cooking spray
1 large red bell pepper, seeds removed and pepper quartered lengthwise
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 cup husked, cored and chopped tomatillos
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 tilapia fillets
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 lemon, halved and seeds removed
1 sprig fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray with cooking spray. Place the pepper pieces cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet. Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the pepper has blackened and blistered, 5 to 10 minutes. Place the blackened pepper pieces into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the pepper to steam as it cools, about 20 minutes. Once cool, remove and discard the skins.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the tomatillos until softened, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and mix in the garlic. Cook and stir until the garlic is softened, about 1 minute. Place the hot tomatillos into a blender, and add the roasted red pepper, parsley, rice vinegar, and honey. Blend the sauce until smooth, and set aside.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, chili powder, and dried oregano. Sprinkle the fish fillets with salt and black pepper, and dredge in the flour mixture until coated.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish until browned, 2 to 3 minutes; carefully flip the fish over and cook on the other side until the meat is opaque and slightly flaky and the fish has browned, about 4 minutes.
  • Transfer fish to a serving platter. Squeeze the lemon halves over the fish, and serve with sauce. If sauce has cooled, pour into a microwave-safe bowl, and cook in microwave on medium setting until hot, about 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Select fresh tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet smell.
  • Marinate the tilapia: Marinating the tilapia in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, and spices will add flavor and help keep the fish moist during cooking.
  • Use ripe tomatillos: Ripe tomatillos will have a bright green color and be slightly soft to the touch.
  • Roast the tomatillos: Roasting the tomatillos will help to concentrate their flavor and make them easier to blend into a smooth sauce.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste until the sauce is flavorful and balanced.
  • Serve the tilapia with your favorite sides: Grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple green salad are all great options.
