  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/3 of a palmful

Yield

Serves: 4 Servings

Preparation

In a bowl combine watermelon, green bell pepper, onion, jalapeo, and lime juice, and season with a little salt and pepper. Stir to combine and reserve.

In a shallow dish combine corn flake crumbs, dry mustard, coriander and paprika. Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper, then coat them thoroughly in the seasoned corn flake crumbs.

Preheat a large non-stick skillet with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons, over medium-high heat.

Once the oil starts to ripple, add the tilapia and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

Top the fish with some of the watermelon salsa and serve.
