Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce tilapia fillets, each cut into 4 pieces
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 limes (2 juiced, 1 cut into wedges)
- 1/2 pound new potatoes, thickly sliced
- 4 small pieces frozen corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ancho or New Mexico chile powder
- 1 bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems coarsely chopped
- 1 15-ounce can no-salt-added diced fire-roasted tomatoes
Directions
Put the fish in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Add the lime juice and toss; set aside. Put the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water and season with salt. Bring to a boil; add the corn and cook, covered, until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add all but 1/3 cup of the chopped onion to the skillet along with the thyme and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, chile powder and half of the cilantro and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 4 minutes. Add the potatoes, corn and reserved cooking water.
Add the fish and lime marinade to the skillet and simmer, spooning the sauce over the fish, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the stew among bowls and top with the remaining onion and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Loved this dish. This was the only tilapia recipe I found in which I had all of the ingredients. Wasn't expecting much but was very pleasantly surprised how delicious it was! I added a bit of dry white wine to cut the tartness of the lime & tomatoes. Added touch of habanero hot sauce just before serving.

Saw this recipe in Food Network magazine and gave it a go today. It was very flavorful. I used fresh corn on cob and mixed in some Yukon gold potatoes. Make sure you have a large enough skillet--mine was 5qt. I ended up using about 1.5 cups of reserve water to have enough liquid and to reduce some of the saltiness. If you aren't a huge lover of fish don't worry, it does not taste very "fishy". I would def recommend this recipe, and I plan on making this again.
