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
- 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.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates.
- Grill tilapia for 3-4 minutes per side, until fish flakes easily with a fork and internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from grill.
- While fish grills, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and honey in a bowl. Stir gently to combine.
- 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.
