Recipe information
Yield
Serves 4; 3 ounces fish and 1/2 cup salsa per serving
Ingredients
Salsa
Preparation
Step 1
In a medium bowl, stir together the salsa ingredients. Set aside.
Step 2
Sprinkle the flesh side of the fish with the cumin, salt, and pepper. Using your fingertips, gently press the mixture so it adheres to the fish.
Step 3
Put the flour in a medium shallow dish. Add the fish with the flesh side down. Lightly coat that side with the flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 4
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook 2 pieces of the fish with the flesh side down for 2 minutes, or until browned. Turn over and cook for 2 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Transfer to a large plate. Cover to keep warm.
Step 5
Put the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the remaining 2 pieces of fish. Transfer all the fish to plates. Top with the salsa. Serve with the lemon wedges to squeeze over all.
