WALLEYE WITH TORTILLA
CRUST AND MANGO SALSA
The walleye is quick to cook, so prepare the salsa first. We enjoyed
this with couscous, a Moroccan granular wheat pasta that takes less
than five minutes to prepare.
Mango Salsa (recipe
follows)
4 walleye fillets
salt and pepper
all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup finely crushed tortilla chips
1/2 inch hot oil
Wash the walleye fillets,
dry them, and sprinkle with salt, pepper and flour. Dip in beaten
egg, then in the crushed tortilla chips. Fry in the hot oil in a
skillet, about 1 minute and remove to a serving plate.
Serve with Tropical Mango Salsa. Makes 4 servings
MANGO SALSA
Mangos are in season and available throughout the summer. This salsa
has a special affinity to fish, and especially with walleye crusted
in tortilla chips.
1 cup diced fresh tomatillos
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped jalapeno pepper
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, packed
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 mangoes, diced
1/2 cup finely diced fresh red onion
1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Put the tomatillos,
garlic, jalapeno pepper, cilantro leaves, cumin seeds and lime juice
into a blender or food processor. Process until finely chopped.
Put the mango, onions, and bell peppers into a bowl. Pour the tomatillo
mixture over, add the sugar and salt and mix well. Let stand for
at least 30 minutes for flavors to blend. Makes about 3 cups.
