For the Fruit Salsa
- 1 cup chopped cantaloupe
- 1 cup chopped honeydew melon
- ¼ cup finely minced red onion
- ¼ cup minced fresh cilantro
- 1 juice of one lime
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
Tilapia
- 1 ½ pounds tilapia fillets
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Melon Salsa
In a medium bowl, combine cantaloupe, honeydew melon, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir gently to evenly distribute everything. Set aside.
Pan Searing
Rise the fillets and pat dry. Season tilapia with salt and pepper.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Working in batches if necessary, place tilapia in the heated skillet and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through (145 degrees F), about 3-5 minutes per side depending on thickness.
Divide tilapia between 4 plates, spoon the melon salsa on top, and serve with your favorite sides.
