Beer Battered Tilapia With Mango Salsa Food

BEER-BATTERED TILAPIA WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Combine the mango, onion, vinegar, lime juice and mint. Let sit in the fridge while preparing fish (if you can refrigerate it for an hour or more, that's even better).
• Combine flour, spices, and beer. Using a whisk helps get any lumps out. Put the batter in a shallow dish.
• Clean and dry the tilapia fillets. Cut in half length-wise.
• Heat the oil in a large shallow frying pan at medium-high heat.
• Coat each piece of fish with batter and place in hot oil.
• Cook on each side for about 2-3 minutes - until batter is crusty and fish is white.
• Place fish pieces on paper towels to blot excess oil.
• Serve mango salsa over fish. (I also like to serve it with a side of roasted red potatoes).
• NOTE: If you can't find a ripe mango, you can substitute one kiwi, a few large strawberries and a couple of chunks of pineapple.
