Hi amigos! It’s Leyla and today we’re going to make Mexican style fish “salpicón”
This is a nutritious, healthy recipe, and an easy option for people who are on a diet.
This recipe can also be made with shrimp, chicken or beef.
You can cook the fish in a pan with a bit of oil.
If you don’t want to use oil, you can just boil it. We'll see both options.
First of all we’re going to pickle 1 large red onion
Add 3 large limes’ juice,
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar,
salt to taste,
mix and set aside.
Meanwhile put 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to a pan,
and fry 750 grams of Tilapia fish
(About 1.5 pounds)
You can use any type of fish you like, it doesn't have to be this one.
Add salt to taste,
ground pepper to taste,
cook both side of the fish filets,
and crumble with the cooking spoon,
stir fry until golden,
and remove from stove.
If your doctor has told you to avoid fats or you prefer not to intake, here is the other option.
In a pot with a bit of water, cook the fish with a small piece of onion.
1 garlic clove,
and salt to taste.
Remember fish cooks quickly. Once water starts boiling, it will be ready in 5-6 minutes.
Put it on a plate to let it cool down.
Then crumble it with a fork.
The fish is ready, now let’s make the “salpicón.”
Add 1 large tomato without seeds cut into cubes,
2 cucumbers,
8 radishes,
chopped cilantro,
(as much as you want)
and mix it.
Add half the onion from earlier,
and mix it.
Put it on a serving dish,
put the rest of the onion on top,
serve with cucumber slices,
and radish slices.
To prepare the shrimp “salpicón” cook the shrimp in water with a bit of salt to taste,
a little piece of onion, and a garlic clove.
Drain them and prepare the crab “salpicón” just like we did with the fish one.
Enjoy and thank you for watching! :)
