Pan-Seared Tilapia with Blackberry Sauce

Serves 4 / A fresh, fruity sauce enhances the earthy sweetness of the spiced fish. Prep tips: You can substitute rainbow trout or another white fish. For the sauce, experiment with other fruit combinations, such as raspberries, mangoes, or peaches.

1 10-ounce package frozen blackberries, partially thawed

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

⅓ cup dry white wine

Pinch of salt

½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons ground cumin

¼-½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

4 5- to 6-ounce tilapia fillets, skin removed, rinsed and patted dry

1 tablespoon olive oil

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine blackberries, honey, vinegar, wine, and a pinch of salt. Mash berries lightly with a fork. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, about 8 minutes, until sauce is slightly thickened.

  2. While sauce cooks, in a small bowl combine ½ teaspoon salt, cinnamon, cumin, cayenne, and black pepper. Gently rub both sides of tilapia fillets with spice mixture.

  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Sauté fish 2-3 minutes, until golden, then turn and sauté 2-4 minutes longer, until cooked through. Transfer to serving plates and top with blackberry sauce. Serve immediately.
