Ingredients

Tilapia

  • 5 Tilapia filet
  • 1 Cup White Rice Cooked
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Paprika
  • Cooking oil About 1 1/2 Tablespoons Total

Mango Salsa

  • 1 Medium Size Ripe Mango Diced small
  • 1/3 Cup Diced Red Onion
  • 1/3 Cup Diced Red Bell Pepper
  • 1/3 Cup Cilantro Lightly Chopped
  • 1/2 Jalapeno Finely Diced Use whole for more spice
  • 1/2 Large Lime

Instructions

Mango Salsa

  • Peel and dice mango into small cubes.
  • Slice both onion and bell pepper into a small dice.
  • Chop up Jalapeno into very small pieces. ( You may use the whole Jalapeno if you would like a spicier salsa) I prefer this recipe with just a hint of Spice!
  • Lastly; chop Cilantro, then add all chopped ingredients into a medium size bowl.
  • Juice half of a lime over top of your mixture and mix well. Allow to set for at least 30 minutes for best flavor.

Tilapia

  • Start by making White rice according to directions; I use About 1 Cup For this Recipe- you can make more if you want a larger portion.
  • Liberally spray a large Non stick skillet with cooking oil or use about 2 tsp. of oil on the bottom of the pan. Heat over medium high heat.
  • Place tilapia on a couple layers of paper towels and soak up extra moisture on both sides of the filet.
  • Lightly spray Filet with some cooking oil or rub it on some manually.
  • Mix together; Salt, Pepper and Paprika in a small bowl and lightly rub on both sides of each tilapia.
  • Place filet into your well heated skillet and allow to cook on each side for 2-3 Minutes until lightly seared on both sides.
  • Remove from Skillet and serve each Filet over a bed of rice then generously garnish with your mango Salsa
