Tilapia with Mango Salsa

Ingredients

• 1½ lb tilapia fillets
• 2 mangoes, ripe
• ¼ red onion
• ½ red bell pepper
• 1 jalapeño
• ¼ cup cilantro
• 1 lime
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp chili powder (optional)

Steps

1. Dice the mangoes, red onion, and red bell pepper. Mince the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat) and chop the cilantro.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the salsa and mix well. Set aside.
3. Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fillets with salt, black pepper, and chili powder if using.
4. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the tilapia fillets in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Remove the cooked tilapia from the skillet and transfer to serving plates.
7. Top each tilapia fillet generously with the fresh mango salsa and serve immediately.
