When it comes to fish, I am not that adventurous. I have a few recipes that I make, and that I know my son loves, so I stick to them. But this summer I made chipotle chicken a lot, and we loved it, so, I was really hoping tilapia would get the same response. And luckily it did. I tried a few sides with it, but this one goes really well, so I will be posting both recipes, for the fish, and for the salad. These are colors of summer, and it is a perfect summer dish, but I would never refuse it any month of the year.
The salad is really healthy, easy to make, and while you are cooking the fish, the salad is already done. Its the perfect lunch in less than an hour.
For the fish you will need:
4 tilapia filets
The salad is really healthy, easy to make, and while you are cooking the fish, the salad is already done. Its the perfect lunch in less than an hour.
For the fish you will need:
4 tilapia filets
4 cloves of garlic
5 tablespoons chopotle seasoning
2 tablespoons paprika powder
1 tablespoon thyme
salt and peeper to taste
Press garlic through garlic press. Spreed it on tilapia filets, and set aside. Combine chipotle seasoning, paprika powder, crushed thyme, salt and paper, and coat both sides of the fish with it. Let it rest for 15 min.
Warm cast iron pan to medium high heat. Add a little bit of oil, and add fish. Do not overcrowd your pan. Fry 3-4 min per side. Fish is done when the center is white, and not translucent. Transfer it carefully on the plate with fish spatula. It will be very fragile.

For the salad, you will need:
1 (440gr) can black beans
300 gr. corn
1 avocado
400 gr cherry tomatoes
3 scallions
1/2 lemon juice
1 tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon cilantro
4 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Rinse and drain can of beans. Combine it with corn, chopped cherry tomatoes, scallions, parsley, cilantro, olive oil, salt and peeper.
Peel avocado, chop into small cubes, and mix with lemon juice until you coat all sides of avocado with it. Add avocado to the veggies. Mix well, and try a little bit, and adjust seasoning if you need. You can add more lime juice if you like.
You can make the salad day ahead, but add avocado with lime juice right before serving.
Uh, sto ima finu rumenu koricu, a salata je prepuna divnih boja, lepa ideja za jedan ukusan rucak koji ce svi ukucani voleti.:))
ReplyDeleteHvala Lana :*
Deleteda izgleda predivno izgleda, ali ja nisam ljubitelj ribe, tačnije nikako je ne volim. A
ReplyDeleteZato bi ovu salatu smazala samo tako, ima u sebi sve što volim!
Uh Boby, ja ribu obozavam, ali ova salata joj je velika konkurencija. Obozavam i jedno i drugo :)
DeleteKakav divan blog! Evo mene od sad redovno! Obozavam ribu i srecom imam odlican izbor uglavnom morske ribe na dohvat ruke. Ovu salatu cu sigurno da probam! Pozdrav!
ReplyDeleteDobrodosla i veliki pozdrav :)
DeleteSalata je moj resor, a i riba, od skoro, pa bi ta kombinacija išla... ;) Moglo bi u proizvodnju! :D
ReplyDeleteJel ova tucana paprika samo sušena, ili ima ukus dimljene?
Odline su i riba i salata. Chipotle seasoning je mesavina zacina. Dominira paprika, ali ide i korijander, cumin, oregano, prah crnog i belog luka. Moze da se nadje recept online, i pomalo variraju, pa je najbolje prilagoditi ih svom ukusu. Meni se nije iz prve svideo, ali sam se uz Meksicku hranu navikla na njega i sad ga bas volim.
DeleteSad mi je jasnij! Ima tu svega, a mislila sam da je samo dimljena paprika... ;)
DeleteMesavina. Ali odlicna, mnogo lepo mirise :)
