Broiled Tilapia with Frisée-Apple Salad and Mustard-Parsley Sauce

Because it’s sustainably farm-raised and widely to be had, tilapia is a superb option. And since it would not have an assertive flavor, it pairs nicely with plenty of components.

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1/2 cup mint leaves
2 Gala apples, cored and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
