Ingredients
Fish:
-
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon dried basil
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
2 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
Salsa:
-
1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted and diced
-
½ red bell pepper, diced
-
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
-
2 tablespoons minced red onion
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
-
2 tablespoons lime juice
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
-
Prepare the fish: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, basil, black pepper, and salt in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add tilapia fillets, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
-
Meanwhile, make the salsa: Combine mango, bell pepper, jalapeño pepper, red onion, and cilantro in a bowl. Add lime and lemon juices and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
Remove tilapia from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Grill fillets until fish is no longer translucent in the center and flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
-
Serve tilapia topped with mango salsa.
Recipe Tip
Strawberries can be substituted for the mango; both are excellent.
