Beer-Battered Tilapia with Mango Salsa Recipe

Beer-Battered Tilapia with Mango Salsa Recipe

  • 3 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup beer
  • 1 pound tilapia fillets, cut in half lengthwise
  • 4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
  • Mango Salsa (see Note)
  1. Combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cumin, salt and cayenne in a medium bowl. Whisk in beer to create a batter.
  2. Coat half the tilapia pieces in the batter. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Letting excess batter drip back into the bowl, add the fish to the pan; cook until crispy and golden, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Coat the remaining fish with batter and cook in the remaining 2 teaspoons oil; adjust heat as necessary for even browning. Serve immediately with Mango Salsa.
