Spicy Tilapia with Pineapple-Pepper Relish

Found this one at My Recipes.  I'm always a little leery about trying to prepare fish, but this turned out pretty good.

I especially loved this relish made with fresh pineapple, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.  I thought it went perfect with the fish.  The fish was a little spicy (as the title suggests) but my son just loved it too.

Here are the how to's:

Ingredients

• 2  teaspoons  canola oil
• 1  teaspoon  Cajun seasoning
• 1/4  teaspoon  kosher salt
• 1/4  teaspoon  ground red pepper
• 4  (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
• 1 1/2  cups  chopped fresh pineapple chunks
• 1/3  cup  chopped onion
• 1/3  cup  chopped plum tomato
• 2  tablespoons  rice vinegar
• 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh cilantro
• 1  small jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
• 4  lime wedges

Preparation

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Combine Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle fish evenly with spice mixture. Add fish to pan, and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.

Combine pineapple and next 5 ingredients (through jalapeño) in a large bowl, stirring gently. Serve pineapple mixture with fish. Garnish with lime wedges.

I received a nice surprise from the people at Quorn this week.  It's a way cool measuring spoon with 3 sides with a different measurement on each side.  Nice way to have less clutter in your kitchen drawer. 

Not that I would know what that's about.

And lastly, a new family member arrived at our house today.  A lime tree!  I'm awfully excited, I think I'm going to call him baby limey.  But that would be stupid, so I'm just going to call it a tree.  I have no idea how long it takes to bear fruit.  But I'll be dreaming of lime pies and possibly margaritas until then!
