Sautéed Snapper Fillets with Banana Salsa
Sautéed Snapper Fillets with Banana Salsa
Huachinango con Salsa de PlátanoFresh Pacific snapper or other fish fillets go very well with a salsa made of ripe bananas. The sweetness of the bananas is balanced by the tartness of lime juice. Crunchy red bell pepper and spicy serrano chile add contrast and texture, and fresh mint adds a refreshing note to the salsa. I like to serve this unusual combination with black beans. The beans can be cooked a day ahead and reheated. A plate of crisp raw vegetables such as cucumbers, radishes, and carrots are a good addition to the meal.
