Veracruz Style Tilapia image

This cooking light recipe was originally for Red Snapper, but since Tilapia is usually less expensive and easier to find, that is what I go with. This recipe also work wonderfully on the grill.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets or 4 (6 ounce) red snapper fillets
cooking spray
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper (fresh ground is always better)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped green olives
1/4 cup prepared salsa
1 (16 ounce) can pinto beans
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Steps:

  • Prepare the broiler by coating the pan with cooking spray.
  • Coat the fish fillets completely wih cooking spray.
  • Combine the cumin salt and pepper and sprinkle all over the fish.
  • The fillets will cook 5 minutes on each side (watch caefully if your fillets are thin).
  • While fish broils, combine the remaining ingredients to make the salsa.
  • Serve the fillets with 1/2 cup of salsa.
  • When spliting the recipe for 2 I will make the entire salsa portion and freeze it for future use, this recipe is also wonderful with lean pork chops.

I'm not a huge fan of tilapia, but this recipe changed my mind. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce was so flavorful.

This dish was a great way to use up some leftover tilapia. It was quick and easy to make, and the results were amazing. The fish was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

I've never had Veracruz-style tilapia before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. It was easy to make and absolutely delicious. The fish was flaky and flavorful, and the sauce was tangy and spicy.
