Here's a delicious way to welcome spring. I like to serve the tilapia with polenta and a blend of leeks and green onions that I've roasted in the oven with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. And definitely add a bit of bacon or blue cheese: It lends a hint of saltiness to contrast with the sweet and tangy sauce. Ingredients:
1 cup quartered fresh strawberries |
1/2 cup white wine |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1 fresh thyme sprig |
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, divided |
1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
4 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
crumbled blue cheese or cooked bacon, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, wine, sugar, lemon juice, thyme sprig and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until slightly thickened. Discard thyme sprig.
2. Combine the flour, pepper and remaining salt; sprinkle over tilapia. In a large skillet, cook fillets in oil over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with strawberry sauce and sprinkle with blue cheese and bacon if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
