BEER-BATTERED TILAPIA WITH MANGO SALSA
This is a recipe I've seen credited to EatingWell.com. I made some slight revisions: more spice, only whole wheat flour, dark beer, less vinegar and lime juice and mint in the salsa instead of cilantro. I omitted the salt entirely. I used a large, shallow frying pan so I was able to cook all the pieces at once.

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.
SPICED TILAPIA WITH MANGO BLACK BEAN SALSA
From Fine Cooking's "Cooking Fresh." This salsa is wonderful and versatile. Even though this recipe is for 2 servings, I suggest you make the whole batch of salsa (Recipe #230800) and store it for other dishes. It is obviously easier to make in larger batches. Try this spice rub on chicken or grilled chops as well!
