Cornmeal-Crusted Tilapia With Squash Salad

• Salad:
• 1 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces)
• 1 large yellow squash (about 8 ounces)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and crushed
• Dash of sugar
• 1 ounce queso fresco, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
• Tilapia:
• 4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
• 1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons canola oil

1. To prepare salad, shave zucchini and yellow squash thinly with a vegetable peeler to equal 2 cups each. Combine lime juice and next 5 ingredients (through sugar) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add zucchini mixture, tossing to coat vegetables. Sprinkle with cheese. Set salad aside.
2. To prepare tilapia, pat fish dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle fillets evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place egg white in a shallow dish. Combine cornmeal and flour in another shallow dish. Dip each fillet in egg white, and dredge in cornmeal mixture, shaking off excess.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add canola oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add fillets to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Top fillets with salad.
