½ cup diced mango

3 tablespoons orange juice

1/2 to 1 fresh jalapeño chile pepper, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped (see Tip)
Citrus Tilapia
-
8 ounces fresh or frozen tilapia fillets

1 teaspoon olive oil

⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

⅛ teaspoon salt

Directions
-
Prepare Fruit Salsa: In a small bowl, combine orange pieces, mango, 3 tablespoons orange juice, sweet pepper, cilantro and chile pepper. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
-
Prepare Citrus Tilapia: Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
-
In a medium nonmetal bowl, stir together the 1/2 cup orange juice, the oil and cayenne pepper. Place fish in the bowl; turn to coat well. Marinate fish in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Drain fish, discarding marinade.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place fish in a small baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Bake about 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve fish with salsa. If desired, garnish with additional fresh cilantro.
Tips
Tip: Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
