Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
  2. To prepare the tomatillos, peel back the husk from the smooth green tomatillo skin. Rinse the tomatillos with warm water and cut into quarters.
  3. Place the husked tomatillos, onion, chilies, garlic, and 1 teaspoon oil in the baking pan, stir well and transfer to the oven. Roast about 20 minutes until the tomatillos are soft and dark green. Set aside to cool.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the blender; add the salt, lime juice, and cilantro and puree.
  5. Heat two teaspoons oil in a skillet over high heat.
  6. Put the tilapia fillets in the pan, waiting about 30 seconds between additions. Cook about 5–6 minutes, until golden brown on both sides.
  7. Transfer the tilapia to the serving plate and top with generous amounts of salsa. Serve right away.
