Salsa calls to mind the color red, but it typically comes from tomatoes, not exotic citrus fruit. But blood oranges make a juicy, tempting topping for tilapia when combined with other tortilla dip-friendly ingredients like finely chopped red onion, spicy bits of jalapeno and creamy avocado chunks. Make this creative fish dish for a meal that has loads of gourmet flair, without a lot of fuss.
