GRILLED TILAPIA WITH MANGO SALSA
Don't let the list of ingredients fool you: this is super-easy, and gets rave reviews whenever I serve it. The salsa can be made the day ahead to save time. Strawberries can be substituted for the mango if you prefer--both are excellent! Combine leftover salsa with some drained black beans the next day for lunch.

Steps:
- Whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, parsley, garlic, basil, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the tilapia fillets, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Prepare the mango salsa by combining the mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper in a bowl. Add the lime juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.
- Remove the tilapia from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the fillets until the fish is no longer translucent in the center, and flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Serve the tilapia topped with mango salsa.

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.

Steps:
- 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.

CARIBBEAN FISH WITH MANGO SALSA
Now for something completely different, how about a little Caribbean/Creole feel? This can be done with fish or with scallops and will wake up the little taste buds. Please forgive me, I am not a real recipe follower, and I change it around all the time. Hope this works for you, love to hear about it. I never wrote it as a recipe, sort of a seat of the pants guy. One item to complete it that I may add is Zatarain's Caribbean Rice®, and in this I add 1/2 red bell pepper and 1/4 cup of fresh pineapple.

Steps:
- Mix together the paprika, curry powder, cumin, allspice, ginger, coriander, salt, black pepper, fennel, and cayenne pepper in a bowl; set the spice mix aside.
- In a bowl, lightly toss the mango, pineapple, red bell pepper, black beans, red onion, and cilantro in a bowl; pour lime juice over the mango mixture, and toss again. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
- Whisk together the egg and milk in a bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, stir the panko crumbs with coconut. Stir about 1 tablespoon of the spice mix, or to taste, into the panko crumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip tilapia fillets into the egg mixture, then press gently into the panko crumb mixture to coat both sides of fillets. Brush off any loose crumbs, then lay the fillets into the hot oil. Pan-fry until the fish is opaque inside and golden brown outside, 3 to 5 minutes per side or as needed. Serve with mango salsa.

CRISPY FISH WITH MANGO SALSA
Steps:
- Marinate the fillets in 3 tablespoons of the fish sauce. Leave for 5 minutes.
- Heat the oil in wok (ensure that the oil is no more than halfway up the wok). When very hot, about 350 degrees F, deep fry the fish until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Make the salsa dressing by pounding the Thai chili peppers roughly with a pestle and mortar. Transfer the chilies into a salad bowl.
- Season the dressing with fish sauce for saltiness, sugar for sweetness, and the lime juice for sourness.
- Put the shredded mango, shallots, lemongrass, coriander and spring onions into the salad bowl and toss.
- Serve the mango salad with the crispy fish.
BAKED WHITE FISH WITH MANGO SALSA
This is an easy and delicious way of cooking fish like Swai or Tilapia. Comes from a recipe on the back of a bag of frozen Swai, with a few modifications. I use store bought salsa - my favorite is Mango Lime Salsa but any type of Mango salsa would work well.
