Fish With Mango Salsa
"A few years ago, a good friend and I would get together every Saturday evening for dinner. One week, neither of us felt particularly inspired, so we combined random leftovers from our refrigerators, and quite accidentally we created this - a light, healthy, and wonderfully delicious summer dish.
Pairs beautifully with grilled asparagus and a light off-dry white wine, such as a sauvignon blanc.
The fish used originally was shark steaks - but since then, it has been tested with sole, catfish, tilapia, flounder, cod, and even chicken - with equal success.
Enjoy."

ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb fish fillet, approximately, in two pieces
- 1 lime, juice of, divided
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
- sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 mango, peeled and cut into 1/2 cubes
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
- 2 teaspoons jalapeno peppers, minced (or to taste, this amount gives it a bit of heat without overpowering the other flavours)
- 1 tablespoon red onion, very finely minced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
directions
- Prepare fish: drizzle with half of the lime juice, rub with garlic, and sprinkle with pepper. Set aside to allow to marinade while you prepare the salsa.
- Prepare salsa: combine the rest of the lime juice with the mango, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, onion, and black pepper to taste.
- Cook fish: in a frying pan, heat olive oil. Add fish, and cook 3 minutes. Using a large silicone spatula, carefully flip over the fish and cook on the other side, about 3 minutes longer or until it flakes with a fork. Alternately, cook on a Foreman grill for 3 minutes.
- Transfer from grill to serving plate; spoon salsa atop shark.

I live in a small town just outside of Buffalo, NY, with my boyfriend and our pets.
We both love to cook, and we often create recipes together. He's a genius on the grill, so I'm looking forward to trying out new recipes here on Zaar, as well as sharing some of the ones we create ourselves.
