Honey Lime Tilapia with Blueberry Salsa


I saw this recipe from How Sweet Eats on foodgawker and made it a couple of weeks ago. I really liked the fish and the salsa. We had extra salsa left and used it on some awesome sandwiches later in the week. My picture does not look pretty but it was actually a great looking meal.


Honey Lime Tilapia

2 tilapia filets
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp lime zest
2 garlic cloves, crushed
salt, pepper, oil
extra lime and honey to drizzle

Combine the olive oil, honey, garlic, lime juice and zest, salt and pepper in a bowl. Marinate fish in mixture for an hour.

Heat a pan over medium high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Season some flour in a bowl and dredge the fish in the flour until you have a light coating. Cook the tilapia in the hot oil for about 4 minutes on each side. Remove and let drain on paper towel before serving with some extra lime juice and honey.

Blueberry Salsa

1 cup fresh blueberries
5 strawberries
1/4 red onion
1 tsp lime zest
lime juice (about 2)
1/3 cup cilantro
1 small avocado
salt and pepper

Combine all ingredients except avocado in a food processor and pulse until chunky. Season to taste and stir in chopped avocado pieces.
