Tilapia With Grapefruit Salsa

Makes 4 servings

Salsa

Ingredients

  • 2 Ruby Red grapefruits (about 1 cup sections)
  • 1 navel orange (about 1/2 cup sections)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced habanero pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 tilapia fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. Cut the peel and pith off the grapefruits and orange. Cut on both sides of the membranes to release each citrus section.
  2. Combine the grapefruit and orange sections with the cilantro, onion, habanero, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss carefully so as not to break the citrus sections. Set aside.
  3. Season the fillets with the salt and pepper.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the fillets and cook on each side until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the grapefruit salsa.
