Tropical Tilapia

Heidi found this recipes in one of those Aprons reecipe cards (Publix). The salsa ingredients sound (to me weird) for a fish entree, but what the heck.  It turns out to be really deliscious and does not last to long on the plate, at leats not ours. I used a spice named  (Cooter Rub) from a company named Gator Hammock, which is a local brand, but I think they sell it  nation wide if not you can always buy it online. The spice has a tiny bite from smoked Cayenne but it's not bad Heidi even likes it and she is not a hot flavor in her food type of person. Hope you enjoy and if you have any suggestions or comments please fell free to add to the blog.

  • 2 fillets of Tilapia
  • cooter rub
  • 4 turns of the pepper mill or 1/4 tsp
  • 1 container fruit salad (Kiwi,Strawberry,Pineapple)
    • 4 strawberries chopped
    • 4 pineapple chopped
    • 2 kiwis chopped
  • 1/4 tomato chopped
  • Handful Cilantro finely chopped
  •  1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
Heat a non-stick pan on med-high heat and drizzle olive oil into pan.  Sprinkle cooter rub and pepper over Tilapia and place into hot pan.  In a bowl mix together fruit, tomato,cilantro and Balsamic vinegar till well blended. Cook fillets for about five minutes on first side and turn over then cook for two minutes more. Place on plate and top with fruit salsa. .
