Tilapia with Mango Salsa

This simple dish is absolutely perfect for a warm, sunny afternoon. It uses only few ingredients but provides full range of flavors. Fruit salsa is a fabulous accompaniment for any fish but tilapia with its mild and neutral taste is especially terrific with sweet and tangy mango salsa. The dish is highly refreshing and energizing. Pair it with mojito or margarita for a relaxing Friday evening dinner.

Ingredients (2 servings):

2 x 6 oz tilapia fillets
1/2 ripe mango
2 Tbsp finely chopped red onion
2 Tbsp chopped cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper
Olive oil

  • Peel and chop mango into small cubes. Mix with cilantro, onion and lime juice. Season with salt, pepper and if you want to you can mash it with fork a little bit. If you prefer chunky salsa omit that step.
  • Let it stand in the fridge for at least 1 hour for the flavors to combine and onion to soften.
  • Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper and saute on a skillet with 1 Tbsp olive oil about 2-3 min per side.
  • Serve tilapia with a salsa on a top.

    I love tilapia, especially with mango salsa on top. Mango is my favorite fruit next to strawberries. It’s very chilly here today, but we are eating like it is Spring:)
