Hey there, I'm really excited to share a recipe with you guys that I recently tried out and absolutely loved, I hope you'll enjoy making it as much as I did and that it brings a burst of flavor to your dinner table too!
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 3 tilapia fillets, about 4 ozs each
- ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ½ cups chopped mangoes (2 mangoes)
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp finely chopped jalapeño pepper
- 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
- First things first, let's prep that mango salsa! Now, slicing mangoes can sometimes feel like a real workout, am I right? But trust me, it's worth it! Once you've conquered those mangoes, combine them with minced garlic, jalapeño pepper, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Mix it all up and set it aside to let those flavors mingle.
- Now, onto our star of the show – the tilapia fillets! Pat them dry with a paper towel; we want those babies nice and dry to ensure a beautiful sear. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on both sides of each fillet.
- Heat up a skillet over medium-high heat and add that extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, gently place your tilapia fillets in the skillet. Now, here's the tricky part – don't overcrowd the pan! Give each fillet some space to sizzle up nicely.
- Let the fillets cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they're beautifully golden and cooked through. Now, don't be tempted to flip them too soon; patience is key here!
- Once your tilapia is cooked to perfection, plate them up and generously spoon that vibrant mango salsa over the top. Oh, the colors! The flavors! It's a feast for the senses, my friends.
- And last but not least, pour yourself a glass of chilled rosé to complement this exquisite dish. Sip, savor, and enjoy every delightful bite!
Feel free to get creative with this recipe! You can swap out the tilapia for any other white fish you fancy, or even try different fruits in the salsa – pineapple, perhaps? Hope you'll like it too. Thanks..
