A sophisticated rendition of the classic Mango Chile Tilapia, featuring high-quality ingredients and refined techniques for a restaurant-worthy experience.
Prepare the Mango-Habanero Salsa: In a bowl, gently combine all Mango-Habanero Salsa ingredients. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Prepare the Chili-Lime Glaze: In a small saucepan, whisk together all Chili-Lime Glaze ingredients. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Keep warm.
Prepare the Tilapia: Pat the Tilapia fillets very dry with paper towels. Lightly coat the skin side with potato starch.
Sear the Tilapia: Heat grapeseed oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Place the Tilapia fillets skin-side down in the hot oil and sear for 5-7 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
Glaze and Serve: Brush the cooked Tilapia fillets generously with the Chili-Lime Glaze. Serve immediately, topped with the Mango-Habanero Salsa.
