Well, mangoes are in season, but what do you do with a mango? If you're me you think, "Hmmmm. Mango salsa and fish or chicken?" Then you start searching the internet for a recipe and you find this on www.allrecipes.com:
Tilapia with Mango Salsa
1/3 cp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs minced fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2 tilapia fillets
Salsa:
1 large mango, diced
1/2 red pepper, diced
2 tbs minced red onion
1 tbs chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 tbs lime juice
1 tbs lemon juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
(I also added a papaya to my salsa)
Whisk together the marinade (olive oil through basil, salt and pepper), and pour into ziploc bag. Add the tilapia fillets and marinate in frig for 1 hour.
Prepare the salsa. Season and store it in the frig until ready to serve.
Remove tilapia from marinade. Grill about 3-4 minutes on each side, until flaky. Serve topped with salsa.
It was delicious! Even my friend loved it, and he is not a fan of fish. Wouldn't you know that I forgot to get a picture of the completed dish? However I had leftovers packaged up for my lunch the next day, and this is what it looked like with the green beans.
That's crispy herb-flavored tilapia hiding under there. Yum!
