Spiced Rubbed Tilapia Fillets with Strawberry Avocado Salsa
Tilapia:
1-1 1/4 pounds tilapia fillets
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Strawberry Avocado Salsa
2 cups sliced strawberries
1 avocado, diced
1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons minced green onion
2 Tablespoons snipped cilantro
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, crushed
1- Rub the tilapia on both sides with the combined spices.
2- Broil 4 inches from heat for 4 minutes, turning once or until the fillets test done.
3- Combine ingredients for the salsa in a medium bown until well mixed.
4- Place tilapia on a serving platter; spoon the salsa over top, garnish and serve.
***I did this with salmon instead of tilapia because it’s what I had on hand and it turned out delicious. I think the salsa would even work on chicken or pork tenderloin.***

I made this tonight and LOVED it. The combination of flavors is so interesting and delicious. The only thing I will do differently in the future is season the fish with a little salt as well. Thanks for the great idea!
Okay, I love that we both read our AARP magazines…..how old does that make us? wow.
ooh found your blog from sfgirlbybay. awesome!
this recipe sounds good, tilapia is a nice thin fish so it should take on the flavor of the salsa well. But I do love salmon so I don’t know. Decisions!
oh won’t, you be, my neighbor
