Recipe by Kate Merker

Ingredients:

  • 4 fresh Tropical tilapia fillets (about 1 ¼ pounds total), halved lengthwise
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • ¼ cup plus
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 6 cups watercress (from 1 to 2 bunches),
  • thick stems removed
  • 1 mango, cut into small pieces
  • ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced

 

Directions:

Season the tilapia with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. 

Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. 

Add half the tilapia and cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes per side. 

Transfer to a plate and repeat with 1 teaspoon of the remaining oil and the remaining tilapia.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, ginger, crushed red pepper, the remaining ¼ cup of oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Divide the tilapia, watercress, mango, and onion among plates. 

Drizzle with the dressing.
