"A different, wonderful flavor for a firm, white fish. You can use red snapper, grouper or trigger fish. The mango salsa is excellent with chicken as well."

Great recipe, I served it with mashed potatoes. I left out the green chili peper and the mango salsa was still really good.

Very easy to make. Such a colorful dish too, made for a great presentation. The rub on the fish was a little strong for me but the salsa was amazing.

Very nice! Made this with fresh caught Red Snapper, called Pargo here. Instead of the hot chile and the vinegar, I used a chile and the liquid from Recipe#504105. Yummy! I really liked the spice rub and will be using it often. The only change I'll make in the future is to pan fry the fish - we would have liked it better with a crisp top! Thanks so much for posting a keeper of a recipe!

Made this exactly as suggested, and added fried banana to serve. Really crisp, tangy salsa and overall a really lush meal! Next time I make it I'll probably add a pinch of cayenne or chilli powder to the spice rub to give the fish a little more kick.

Fresh salsa over an intricately seasoned fish. There are a lot of tastes in this one, but they work well together. I used a pacific whitefish for ZWT7.
