Sushi Rice

This is the recipe I use for sushi rice.

  • 2 cups uncooked sushi rice
  • 1 3/4 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbs rice vinegar
  • 2 Tbs sugar

Wash and rinse rice until water runs clear.  Cook rice with 1 3/4 cups water.

Mix salt and rice vinegar together until dissolved.  Add sugar to rice vingear and stir until dissolved completely.

Add rice vinegar mixture to cooked rice while still hot.  Mix vinegar into rice evenly, while fanning rice to cool it.  Take care not to smash the rice, or you will end up with a pasty mess.

Your sushi rice is now ready to be used to make your favorite sushi!

Grilled Tilapia with Mango Salsa

This is another tilapia recipe I found that looks delicious as well!  The original can be found here.

  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted and diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, parsley, garlic, basil, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the tilapia fillets, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Prepare the mango salsa by combining the mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper in a bowl. Add the lime juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.

Remove the tilapia from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the fillets until the fish is no longer translucent in the center, and flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Serve the tilapia topped with mango salsa.

Baked Tilapia with Tomatoes & Olives

I was looking for some good recipes for tilapia this morning and found this one here.

  • 6 Tilapia fillets
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 3 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped green olives
  • 1/4 tsp. dried hot red pepper flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 T. fresh lime juice

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Lightly oil a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the fillets in one layer.
In a bowl stir together the oil, the thyme, the tomatoes, the olives, the red pepper flakes, the garlic, the onion, and the lime juice.
In the prepared baking dish arrange the fillets, skin sides down, season them with salt, and spoon the tomato mixture over them.
Bake the fish, uncovered, in the middle of the oven 15 to 20 minutes, or until it just flakes.

Serves: 6

Recipe from Rebecca Radnor and the American Tilapia Association
