Ingredients
- •Tilapia, Fillet(454g)
- •salt and pepper
- •Olive oil(15g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •Tortilla, Corn, 6-Inch
- •Blueberries(480g)
- •Almonds, Roasted, Salt And Vinegar Flavored(120g)
- •Cilantro, Fresh(120g)
- •Lemon Juice, Fresh(15g)
- •Avocado
- •JalapeñO Pepper
- •Yellow Onion
- •Honey(10g)
Instructions
- 1Season both sides of the fish with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper.
- 2Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the fish is cooked through and opaque and flakes easily. (Cooking time will depend on the size/thickness of your fish.) Remove from heat and transfer fish to a separate plate. Use two forks to flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.
- 3Place two corn tortillas together, then fill with the flaked fish and blueberry salsa. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
- 4*If using corn tortillas, I recommend warming them first in a saute pan. Heat the pan over medium-high heat, then add one tortilla at a time, cooking for 30-60 seconds per side until it is warmed and the edges slightly begin to brown. OR, you can warm them in the microwave wrapped in a damp towel. Use immediately.
- 5Toss all ingredients together until combined. If you would like a sweeter salsa, feel free to stir in some honey. (The honey will mix in better if it is slightly warmed up.)
