Tilapia with Mango Salsa

So I forgot to take pictures (sorry in advance). It was great. 2nd time was just as good as the first, but not as much food this time. Here is there recipe, but keep looking because I changed up some things that made it much easier, so if you're in a hurry and don't have time to make the salsa and marinade yourself it will be quicker.

Grilled Tilapia with Mango Salsa

Ingredients

· 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

· 1 tablespoon lemon juice

· 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

· 1 clove garlic, minced

· 1 teaspoon dried basil

· 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

· 1/2 teaspoon salt

· 2 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets

Salsa

· 1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted and diced

· 1/2 red bell pepper, diced

· 2 tablespoons minced red onion

· 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

· 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

· 2 tablespoons lime juice

· 1 tablespoon lemon juice

· salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.

4. 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.

So here's what I did differently.

1. I didn't make my own marinade. I just bought a lemon pepper marinade from HEB. I marinated it for about 2 hours. I also just used Mrs. Dash Table Blend spice to add some more flavor.

2. I also didn't make my own salsa (so basically I didn't really do anything to make this except cook it).

3. I also didn't grill it. We have a grill but I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to that kind of stuff. What I did was I cook it in a pan (I just sprayed some off brand Pam to keep it from sticking). Then after it was done cooking I threw the salsa in to let it simmer for a while while I cooked some green beans (which were great). I just sautéed them in some olive oil and some butter and threw some garlic powder, seasoned salt, tony sacheries and added some Louisiana hot sauce so it would be spicy. I really liked it and it was quick and easy so I'll definitely make it again.
