Tequila Lime Tilapia With Warm Tomato Salsa Recipes

TILAPIA WITH SPICY FRESH SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high and move the oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Place the tilapia on the baking sheet and pour the olive oil evenly over them.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Broil the fish until it flakes with a fork, about 4 minutes per side or so if your fish is thin. Turn it once during cooking.
• While the fish cooks, toss the tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, lime, cilantro and salt together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• When the fish comes apart easily, remove from the oven and transfer to plates; top with your desired amount of fresh salsa and serve warm.

TEQUILA SALSA

Steps:

• In a 2-quart saucepot, heat the olive oil. Saute the onion and garlic for 2 minutes or until translucent. Add the tomatoes and dried chiles. Continue to saute for 2 minutes. Add the bread and water, stir in well. Cook the mixture for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chiles are soft and cooked.
• Add the cooked mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour through a strainer to catch any large pieces and seeds. Return the strained salsa to the saucepot and add the tequila. On low-medium heat, bring the sauce to a simmer for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm.

TEQUILA- LIME TILAPIA WITH WARM TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• 1. To marinade the fish, place in a shallow pan and sprinkle with spices and chopped cilantro and diced tomato. Squeeze lime juice over the fish and pour in the tequila. Cover with plastic wrap and spoon marinade over fish every half hour or so for 2 hours. Make sure to refrigerate the fish in between bastings. 2. Melt butter in a frying pan and gently sautee the onions until they are soft and golden brown. Toss the onions in the pan until they form an even, uniform layer on the bottom of the pan. Increase heat to high. 3. Remove the fish from the marinade and lay over the onions, and pour in about 1/3 of the marinade. Cover the fish. 4. Remove the tomato from the marinade and heat in a separate pan just long enough to heat it up and kill any microbes or parasites. Food poisoning ain't fun. 5. After 2 minutes, turn the tilapia over. Add more marinade and cover for another 2 minutes. 6. When the fish is cooked through, scoop the filets up with as much onion as possible and serve over spanish rice. Garnish the filets with the tomato salsa.

TEQUILA LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the tequila, lime juice, shallots, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper in a saute pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce by half. Stir in the cream and simmer for 3 minutes. Whisk in the butter and remove from the heat. Continue whisking until all of the butter is incorporated. Serve immediately.
• Remove the rellenos from the oven. Spoon 1/4 cup of the sauce on each plate and place the rellenos directly on top. Garnish with the tortilla strips and the cilantro sprigs. Sprinkle Essence on the rim.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
