Grilled Tilapia with Mango Salsa Recipe

Latin American · Main course · 23 min total

A light and refreshing main course featuring perfectly grilled tilapia fillets topped with a vibrant, sweet-and-spicy mango salsa.

Ingredients

• 4 tilapia fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Brush tilapia fillets with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with the spice mixture.
2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates.
3. Grill tilapia for 3-4 minutes per side, until fish flakes easily with a fork and internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from grill.
4. While fish grills, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and honey in a bowl. Stir gently to combine.
5. Serve each tilapia fillet topped with a generous spoonful of mango salsa.

Tips

• For best flavor, let the salsa sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
• If you don't have a grill, cook tilapia in a hot cast-iron skillet for 3-4 minutes per side.
• Store leftover salsa in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
