Egg-Dipped Fish Fillets on Broiled Salsa

Rated

Ingredients

1 ripe Del Monte pineapple, peeled and cut into spears
1 large onion, thickly sliced
2 Poblano or Anaheim peppers, halved, seeded
1 red bell pepper, halved, seeded
75 mL cilantro, chopped ¾ cup
grated peel of 2 limes
juice of 1 lime
5 mL garlic, minced 1 tsp
5 mL coarse black pepper 1 tsp
8 mL coarse salt 1-1/2 tsp
4 firm white fish fillets (basa, snapper, cod) 4
2 eggs, beaten
vegetable oil
avocado, optional

Preparation

Preheat the broiler to high. Place pineapple spears and onion slices on a baking sheet and broil until starting to brown. Turn if needed to ensure even cooking. Remove and set aside to cool. When easy to handle, chop pineapple and onion; place in a bowl.

Meanwhile, place the Poblano pepper halves and bell pepper halves, cut side down, on the baking sheet and broil until black. Remove from heat, cover tightly with foil and cool (this will loosen the skin.) When cool, remove and discard the blackened skin, chop and add to the pineapple and onion in the bowl.

Stir in all the remaining salsa ingredients and cover at room temperature while cooking the fish.

Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a large, heavy skillet. Dip all 4 fish fillets in the beaten egg and place in the hot oil. Spoon a little of the leftover egg over each. After about 1 minute, turn each fillet and spoon more egg over each. After another minute, turn the fish fillets again and serve at once on heated plates with the broiled salsa, avocados slices (if using), warm flour tortillas and salad.
