GOOD TO KNOW A cherry pitter makes quick work of removing the pits, but you can also use frozen pitted cherries in place of fresh; just be sure to thaw them according to package instructions and drain thoroughly before using.
Ingredients
serves 48 ounces Bing cherries (2 cups), pitted and coarsely chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 jalapeño chile, minced (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for grill
4 tilapia fillets (4 to 6 ounces each)
Step 1
Heat grill (or grill pan) to high. In a medium bowl, combine cherries, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine; set salsa aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, stir together coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pat fish dry with paper towels. Rub fillets all over with oil; season with spice mixture.
Step 3
Clean and lightly oil hot grates. Grill tilapia until opaque around the edges and underside loosens easily from grill, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a thin metal spatula, flip fish; continue to cook until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve tilapia topped with cherry salsa.
