Seared Tilapia With Watercress and Mango Salad from Real Simple
I recently tried this recipe with my husband as we are trying to eat "lighter" and we both loved it! He normally doesn't like fish but the tilapia is mild enough for anyone. We substituted spinach for the watercress (because my husband is picky).
Seared Tilapia With Watercress and Mango Salad from Real Simple
Ingredients
- * 4 tilapia fillets (about 1 1/4 pounds total), halved lengthwise
* kosher salt and black pepper
* 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
* 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
* 2 teaspoons honey
* 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
* 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
* 6 cups watercress (from 1 to 2 bunches), thick stems removed
* 1 mango, cut into small pieces
* 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
Directions
- Season the tilapia with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the tilapia and cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with 1 teaspoon of the remaining oil and the remaining tilapia.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, ginger, crushed red pepper, the remaining ¼ cup of oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Divide the tilapia, watercress, mango, and onion among plates. Drizzle with the dressing.
