Salsa Fish Recipes

SALSA FISH

Steps:

• Coat fish fillets in bread crumbs. In a skillet, brown fillets in oil. Arrange in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Top with salsa and cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 7-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork and cheese is melted.

FISH TACOS WITH FRESH SALSA

Steps:

• Make the salsa: Mix the tomatillo, tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice and jalapeno in a bowl and season with salt.
• Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Season the fish with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then toss with the flour in a bowl. Fry the fish in 2 batches, turning as needed, until golden brown and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt.
• Fill the tortillas with the fish, lettuce and salsa. Serve the tacos with lime wedges.

CARIBBEAN FISH WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Mix together the paprika, curry powder, cumin, allspice, ginger, coriander, salt, black pepper, fennel, and cayenne pepper in a bowl; set the spice mix aside.
• In a bowl, lightly toss the mango, pineapple, red bell pepper, black beans, red onion, and cilantro in a bowl; pour lime juice over the mango mixture, and toss again. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
• Whisk together the egg and milk in a bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, stir the panko crumbs with coconut. Stir about 1 tablespoon of the spice mix, or to taste, into the panko crumb mixture.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip tilapia fillets into the egg mixture, then press gently into the panko crumb mixture to coat both sides of fillets. Brush off any loose crumbs, then lay the fillets into the hot oil. Pan-fry until the fish is opaque inside and golden brown outside, 3 to 5 minutes per side or as needed. Serve with mango salsa.

OVEN-BAKED SALSA FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Place thawed fish fillets in a 9 inch pie plate.
• Spread with salsa and top with Parmesan.
• Bake, uncovered, until bubbling (about 8 to 12 min).

MEXICAN BAKED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease one 8x12 inch baking dish.
• Rinse fish fillets under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Lay fillets side by side in the prepared baking dish. Pour the salsa over the top, and sprinkle evenly with the shredded cheese. Top with the crushed corn chips.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until fish is opaque and flakes with a fork. Serve topped with sliced avocado and sour cream.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SALSA FRESCA

Steps:

• Add the tomatoes, jalapeño, onions, cilantro and lime juice to a bowl and mix to combine. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least an hour for all the flavors to come together.
• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Drizzle the swordfish with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on the direct-heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move to the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and cook until cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill to rest, about 5 minutes. Serve the swordfish with the salsa spooned over the top.

OVEN-STEAMED FISH WITH MIXED-NUT SALSA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Pick a baking dish that will fit all the fish fillets in an even layer. Scatter the whole parsley sprigs in the dish. Pat the fish dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Lay the fish on top of the parsley sprigs. (The herbs keep the fillets from sticking to the pan and will lightly flavor the fish.) Pour enough boiling water around the fish to cover the bottom of the dish. Seal the dish tightly with foil and bake until the fish is opaque and flakes with a fork, about 10 minutes for thin fillets like sole and up to 20 minutes for dense fillets that are 1-inch thick or more.
• While the fish is cooking, stir together the chopped parsley, nuts, olive oil, vinegar, honey and ½ teaspoon black pepper. (Measure the pepper; it's more than you think.) Season to taste with salt.
• Transfer the cooked fish to plates, and discard the parsley and water. Spoon some salsa over fillets and pass the rest at the table.

FISH WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare fish: drizzle with half of the lime juice, rub with garlic, and sprinkle with pepper. Set aside to allow to marinade while you prepare the salsa.
• Prepare salsa: combine the rest of the lime juice with the mango, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, onion, and black pepper to taste.
• Cook fish: in a frying pan, heat olive oil. Add fish, and cook 3 minutes. Using a large silicone spatula, carefully flip over the fish and cook on the other side, about 3 minutes longer or until it flakes with a fork. Alternately, cook on a Foreman grill for 3 minutes.
• Transfer from grill to serving plate; spoon salsa atop shark.

FISH WITH TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick pan until hot; reduce heat to medium-high, and add the 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
• Wash and dry fish, and saute it on each side until it begins to take on a little color. Cook one or two minutes at most.
• Remove pan from heat, spoon 1 tablespoon of vinegar over fish, and set aside.
• Wash and mince scallions; mince garlic; wash, dry and chop basil. Place ingredients in a flat dish large enough to hold fish, and mix with remaining 2 teaspoons vinegar.
• Chop tomatoes, add to serving bowl and mix. Spoon mixture to the side, and place fish in bottom of dish, spooning tomato salsa over it. Season with salt and pepper.
