  • Total Time: 23 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or salmon)
  • 2 tablespoons blackened seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients for the mango salsa and mix the diced mango, chopped red onion, diced red bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and cilantro in a bowl. Set aside to let flavors meld.
  2. Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the fish fillets lightly with olive oil and coat evenly with blackened seasoning.
  3. Cook the fillets in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Place cooked fish on plates, top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa, garnish with extra cilantro, squeeze fresh lime over, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Leftover fish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Keep the mango salsa separate until serving to maintain freshness and texture.
  • Reheat the fish gently in a skillet or oven to preserve texture and flavor.
