Ingredients

  • 1 (6-ounce) tilapia fillet
  • Pinch ground cumin
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • Pinch paprika
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Tilapia Salad, recipe follows
  • Cashew Yogurt Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

Heat the grill. Cut the fillet in 1/2 lengthwise. Lightly season the fish with the cumin, cayenne, paprika, and salt. Coat each piece in olive oil and grill, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. To plate, begin by covering a dinner plate with a layer of cashew yogurt sauce. Place the pieces of grilled tilapia in the center, overlapping one another. Top the fish with the tilapia salad and place the tangerine segments around the plate.

This recipe was provided by professional chefs and has been scaled down from a bulk recipe provided by a restaurant. The FN chefs have not tested this recipe, in the proportions indicated, and therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.

Tilapia Salad:

1 honey tangerine

1/2 cup watercress

1 teaspoon tangerine zest

1/8 cup raw red beets, peeled and julienned

1 tablespoon cashews, roasted

Using a sharp pairing knife, remove the skin of the tangerine. Slice the tangerine into rings and remove any seeds. Mix the watercress, tangerine zest, and beets with the cashews. Serve with the grilled tilapia and cashew yogurt sauce.

Cashew Yogurt Sauce:

3 quarts plain yogurt

6 limes, juiced

1 1/2 bunches fresh cilantro leaves

6 large garlic cloves

4 tablespoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

3 teaspoons paprika

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Taste for seasoning.

    Good

    I only made the fish, not the salad or yogurt. It was easy to make and tasted great

    Excellent flavors

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    The tilapia was great - For two people, I doubled the recipe for the salad (except used one 1 tangerine). First time I cut... the sauce in thirds and had way too much but that gave me an excuse to serve the recipe several times over the next couple of weeks as the sauce kept fresh easily. Next time I made the sauce I used a cup of yogurt, juice of 1 lime, 1 garlic clove (was too much) and the others to taste. This recipe will definitely stay in my recipe box!Read more

    great!

    The fish was wonderful and had excellent flavor (I used generous amounts of cayenne, we like spice!), I cut down the sauce by... using 1 carton of 6 oz fat free yogurt, and the juice of 1 lime, 1 piece of a bulb of garlic and dashes to taste of the other listed ingredients and the sauce was to die for, it really brought out the flavor of the fish. We will definitely have this as a favorite in our home!Read more

    The tilapia fell apart and it was too much garlic.

    More Spice

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I coated each side of the talapia with olive oil, then lightly seasoned both sides. A pinch of seasoning was not sufficient.... This gave the talapia more heat and a little more spice. Adjust the cayanne pepper for more or less spicyness (I like it more spicy). Instead of grilling, I used a grill pan and used the left over olive oil and spices to sautee some onions as a topping.Read more
