Worthy of a Special Occasion

Gotreaux Family Farms in Louisiana produces farm-raised tilapia. Locally raised or caught seafood is available at grocers and farmers' markets. You can substitute other seafood, such as salmon or shrimp.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 tacos and about 1/2 cup salsa)

Ingredients

  • Salsa:
  • 2  cups  finely chopped peeled peach (about 2 medium)
  • 1/2  cup  finely chopped red onion
  • 2  tablespoons  chopped cilantro
  • 1  tablespoon  fresh lime juice
  • 1/2  teaspoon  kosher salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  ground red pepper
  • 1  jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1  garlic clove, minced

  • Remaining ingredients:
  • 1/2  cup  panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
  • 1/2  teaspoon  kosher salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  ground red pepper
  • 1  pound  tilapia, cut into 2-inch strips
  • Cooking spray
  • 8  (6-inch) corn tortillas

Preparation

To prepare salsa, combine first 8 ingredients in a medium bowl. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 375°.
