Tilapia with Mango Salsa

That’s what dinner will be tonight. I stumbled across the recipe a few months ago when mangoes were on sale at Aldi’s. It was a big hit. I make it without the jalapeño, though. (Yes, I’m wimpy when it comes to peppers.)

Do you ever get venturesome with fish? I’ve learned a few things over the years, but tend to do the same stuff over and over. If you have anything new, do share!

    I would shy away from the jalapeno (how do you make the tilde on your n?) only because I don’t like the surprise of biting into one. I might put in a dab of sambal oelek chili paste instead–still hot and tasty, but no gotcha.

  2. CLK says:

    Good idea about the chili paste. I have some thai red curry paste that might be good, too.

    The tilde popped up when Chrome decided I’d spelled jalapeño incorrectly. (See! It happened again.)

    Any good cod recipes out there? I made some last night that was really simple, but I always feel like Im over cooking.

    I’ve made this with both tilapia and cod. It’s pretty simple – I got it as a complimentary recipe from a website called http://www.savingdinner.com which I think is a terrific resource especially for folks who don’t like to put menus together or search for recipes. I didn’t end up subscribing; however, my 20-something nephew does and thinks it’s great :)

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CINDY!

    Great recipes. I will be trying both in the near future. Thanks! I will also post a favorite salmon recipe when I have more time.

    I’d use a habanero in the salsa. Get Manilla mangoes for this. I’d say the red pepper is optional.

  7. CLK says:

    I thought about substituting a Roma tomato for the pepper, but I already had one, so I used it.

    As God for my witness, John Foust, I never dreamed I’d be talking recipes with you. It’s not a problem as long as you don’t venture over to the dark side.
