Fish
-
In a small bowl, stir together the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and salt. Using your fingertips, gently press half the mixture so it adheres to the fish. -
Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Heat over high heat. Place the fish in the skillet with the seasoned side down. Cook for 3 minutes. While the fish is cooking, gently press the remaining seasoning mixture on the top side. Turn over the fish. Cook for 3 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. -
Serve the salsa over the fish.
Salsa
-
In a medium bowl, gently stir together all the salsa ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
Keep it Healthy: Frying seafood with a breaded coating is a popular way to cook fish, but not the healthiest choice. The cooking technique known as "blackening," however, provides a lot of flavor to fish (or poultry or meat), but with little sodium and no saturated fat.
Tip: You can substitute cantaloupe or mango for the strawberries depending on your preference and what's in season or on sale.
