Salsa For Fish Recipes

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.

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.

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).

FISH WITH GRILLED FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Rub each piece lightly with canola oil.
• Rub grates of the grill with a canola oiled paper towel. Place poblano pepper on grill and grill until blackened. Remove from grill and place in a paper or resealable plastic bag to rest. When pepper is cool enough to handle, peel off blackened skin. Remove the stem and scoop out the seeds. Chop only half of the pepper and place in a large bowl. Reserve the other half for another use or discard.
• Arrange fruit on grill and let cook 2 to 3 minutes, turn over, and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from grill to a cutting board and let cool. When fruit is cool, chop into 1/2-inch pieces and add to the bowl with chopped poblano pepper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the minced serrano pepper, cilantro, lime zest and juice, agave syrup, lemon juice, cayenne, cinnamon and salt. Mix well and pour over the grilled fruit. Gently stir to combine, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Serve on top of fish.
• Fish: Preheat grill or steel drum to medium-high. Rub the grill with a canola oiled paper towel. Salt and pepper both sides of fish. Gently place fish on grill or steel drum, cook for 3 minutes, carefully turn over and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat to a cutting board, cover and let rest for 2 minutes. Cut into serving size pieces, if desired, and serve immediately with fruit salsa.

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.

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.
