Description
Tilapia with Corn Salsa is a light and flavorful dish that brings together the mild taste of tilapia and the zesty, fresh flavors of a corn and black bean salsa. This simple, yet satisfying meal is perfect for busy weeknights or when you’re looking for a healthy seafood option.
Ingredients
4 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (11 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
2 tablespoons chopped sweet red pepper
Instructions
- Drizzle both sides of the tilapia fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the broiler and set the fish on a broiler-safe pan. Broil the tilapia 4-6 inches from the heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is broiling, combine the black beans, corn, Italian salad dressing, chopped green onion, and chopped red pepper in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
- Once the tilapia is done, serve each fillet with a generous scoop of the corn salsa on top.
Notes
- Add Spice: If you like a little heat, try adding some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the corn salsa.
- Grilled Version: For a smoky twist, grill the tilapia instead of broiling it.
- Make It a Salad: Serve the tilapia and salsa over mixed greens or with fresh avocado slices for a complete meal.
