Triggerfish with Mango Salsa

Triggerfish With Mango Salsa

Triggerfish are hard to come by, but it's worth the effort. They taste especially good when you catch them the morning of your dinner.

If no triggerfish can be found, substitute grouper, snapper, grunt or porgy.


Ingredients: Directions:

Seafood ingredients:
8 - 4 ounce. triggerfish fillets
5 tablespoons olive oil Sea salt (or regular salt)
5 ounces (1/2 bag) fresh. washed spinach
Chopped parsley for garnish

SALSA ingredients:
1 fresh mango - peeled, cored and diced
1 fresh tomato. diced
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
1 /4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 /2 teaspoon sea salt (or regular) fresh squeezed juice of 1/2 lime

 

Combine salsa ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate for 2 - 12 hours. Stir again to blend.

Arrange spinach to fill and slightly hang over the sides of a medium sized shallow casserole dish.

Micro wave spinach for 1 minute max. Lightly salt the fish fillets and set into very hot olive oil in a frying pan over high heat.

Sear only until golden brown on one side. approx. 2-3 minutes. Gently turn with spatula.

After turning the last of the fillets, immediately begin removing the fillets in the same order as you turned them as not to overcook.

Arrange the fillets on the bed of spinach golden side up.

Spoon 1 /2 of the salsa over the dish and serve the other half on the side.

Place casserole in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 5-6 minutes.

Garnish with chopped parsley.

Serve with your favorite warm rolls and a side of either julian steamed carrots and green beans or corn.

A fine chardonnay is mandatory.
