Tilapia with Mango Salsa
This is a nice fresh, no-brainer of a salsa that I posted ages ago (my 2nd post!) served with baked salmon . Would no doubt be wonderful on chicken as well. When it's so dagblam hot out (105!) nobody wants the oven on for long, so the broiler is my friend. Dirtying a grill pan just seemed like too much trouble, so I broiled the zukes too. And, we had a roasted sweet tater in the fridge that I turned into more of the insanely good chipotle mashed sweet potatoes.
Tilapia with Mango Salsa:
(Salsa from Cooking Light)
~10oz. or 3 small ripe mangoes, diced
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
~1+ Tbs lime juice
1 serrano pepper (I used a jalapeno this time) seeded, and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
~1 Tbs olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
~1 lb.Tilapia fillets
salt and pepper
olive oil
cumin, coriander, and garlic powder
Combine all ingredients for the salsa (mangoes thru s & p), taste, tweak, and set aside.
Heat broiler on high.
Lay fish on a foil-lined sheet pan.
Lightly oil each side of the fillets with olive oil.
Salt and pepper the fillets, then add a pinch of cumin, coriander and garlic powder over each as well (if you want).
Broil fishies for about 4-5 minutes, then flip and continue cooking until done. Usually just a couple minutes more.
Serve each fillet topped with mango salsa.
Absolutely love how you brought some many nice flavors to the fish. Tilapia can be bland and the addition of mangoes, cilantro and lime juice seems like a great choice. And it's healthy!
