Does anyone have any good white fish recipes?!
I'm probably going to be making talapia and I want something that's light!. I was thinking if anyone has a good Mexican recipe for it (not fish tacos please and no ceviche since I'm pregnant)!. It's going to be served with a tomato, cilantro and onion salad!. So, something that's complimentary!.
Thanks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have a lot of "less light" recipes but only one clear favorite, light recipe!. We're having it tonight in fact -- and if the kids ask for it, you know it has to be good!.
First I rinse the tilapia in a milk bath (removes any fishy odor or lingering taste) and press in a spice rub!.
Spice Rub 1 - 1/4 tsp each Kosher Salt, chili powder, ground cumin and 1 pinch cloves
Spice Rub 2 - 1/4 tsp each garlic salt, onion powder, tandoori spice mix
Then I make a simple sauce of:
1/4 stick melted Butter with 1 T worcestershire sauce, 1 can crushed Peeled Tomatoes with juice (28 oz), 1/4 C each Cider Vinegar, Orange juice & brown mustard, 2 T packed brown sugar, optional - 1 T each dry minced onion and/or horseradish!. Bring to boil on low heat and simmer for at least 20 minutes!.
Prep tilapia with dry rub!. Use olive oil to rub a baking dish and bake tilapia for 5 minutes in a pre-heated 350 degree oven!. Coat fish generously with sauce and bake for another 5-7 minutes!. Put under the broiler for the last minute!. Fish will be soft, moist, flavorful, and healthy -- with a lovely spice that makes it seem as if it's a much more expensive fish!.

Tilapia is kind of a bland fish, so I like to hit it with plenty of acidity and spice to turn it up a bit!.
Throw tomatos (canned plumb, or sliced fresh) onions, and olives or capers!.
Spice it up with some chili peppers, dash of cumin, lime and cilantro for a more Mexican take on it!. Serve with rice, polenta, or grits (aka massa)!.
PS Both are for the oven, that will keep it light and less work!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
