Just to let you know for the preparation time... the fish does need to marinate for about an hour in the refrigerator.

Tilapia with Grapefruit Salsa (for 2)
1/3 cup unsweetened grapefruit juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon grated grapefruit peel
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Dash to 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each)
1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup chopped pink grapefruit sections
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 to 2 teaspoons chopped jalapeno pepper
2 teaspoons butter
For marinade, in a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Set aside 1 tablespoon.
Place tilapia in a large resealable plastic bag; add remaining marinade. Seal bag and turn
to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour. For the salsa, in a small bowl, combine the beans,
grapefruit sections, onion, cilantro, jalapeno and reserved marinade. Cover and refrigerate
until serving. Drain and discard marinade. In a skillet over medium heat, cook tilapia in butter for 4-5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with salsa.
Editor's Note: When cutting or seeding hot peppers, use rubber or plastic
gloves to protect your hands. Avoid touching your face.
Yield: 2 servings.
