Pan Seared Tilapia with Peach and Cucumber Salsa

Pan Seared Tilapia fillets are topped with a fresh, bright, and simple peach and cucumber salsa. Delicious 30 minute meal!
I’m so jealous of my neighbor’s peach tree! Although I suppose I don’t really need to be…since she’s constantly passing me bags of fruit over the fence. But, she totally benefits from it. The last batch resulted in several jars of Peach Freezer Jam, which I happily handed back to her.
What I had left, went into this summer salsa. It’s so simple, bright, and delicious. I spotted it in Food Network magazine and had to make it immediately. Any mild white fish would work here, although cooking times will vary.
Her tree is almost bare now, so I guess it’s back to the store-bought variety. *cries* I am so spoiled.

I made this throwing my own flair, summer squash and zucchini instead of the cucumber and saute them with the onions. Came out amazing used the leftovers for dip with some nachos. :)
Tried this recipe for my family tonight, using some good ‘ole Georgia peaches! It was delicious. My five year old granddaughter asked for seconds!
this looks incredible Amy! I love pan seared tilapia, so easy – and that fresh salsa just makes it so fresh!!
Can’t wait to try this, especially since I’m always on the lookout for a new salsa.
You would love this, Mom! For your fish-hater husband, the salsa would pair well with pork, too.
