Ingredients
- 1 mango, peeled, pitted, and chopped, 1 cup chopped frozen mango, thawed
- 1/3 cup chopped red bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced red onion, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- Pinch salt
- 4 5-ounce white fish fillets (cod, red snapper, halibut or tilapia)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Paprika for sprinkling
Preparation
Step 1
1. In a medium bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients (mango through salt). Cover, and place in the refrigerator (This can be done up to 2 days ahead of time).
2. Sprinkle the oil over the fish and rub to coat. Sprinkle a light coating of paprika onto each of the fillets. Preheat the grill on medium high or place a non-stick grill pan over medium high heat. When hot, place the fish on the grill paprika side down and cook for 3 minutes, or until underside is lightly browned. Turn fish and cook 3 to 4 more minutes, or until fish flakes apart easily when teased with a fork.
3. Place fish on plates or a serving tray and top with ~ 1/3 cup salsa on each serving. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
Marlene Says: While fatty fish like salmon and trout get kudos for their heart healthy omega-3 fatty acid content, lower fat fish are also powerhouses of good nutrition. Cod (and other mild white fish), are high in B-vitamins, including B6 and B12 necessary for energy and proper metabolism.
