If you’re looking for a fast, tasty meal and are a fan of clean-tasting fish, you’ll enjoy this White Fish with Corn Salsa recipe. It’s done in about 10 minutes and feeds 4 people.
While Talapia is listed as the “white fish” in this dish, you can certainly substitute another type. Choices include catfish, cod, flounder, grouper, haddock, halibut, and snapper. Bear in mind the difference in thickness on alternative fish. You may have to broil a little longer to achieve doneness.
When shopping for Talapia try to get fresh vs. frozen. Freezing really damages this particular fish’s texture and negatively impacts flavor. Prepare it as soon as possible. It will keep for up to two days in the coldest part of the refrigerator.
