CRISPY FISH WITH MANGO SALSA
Steps:
- Marinate the fillets in 3 tablespoons of the fish sauce. Leave for 5 minutes.
- Heat the oil in wok (ensure that the oil is no more than halfway up the wok). When very hot, about 350 degrees F, deep fry the fish until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Make the salsa dressing by pounding the Thai chili peppers roughly with a pestle and mortar. Transfer the chilies into a salad bowl.
- Season the dressing with fish sauce for saltiness, sugar for sweetness, and the lime juice for sourness.
- Put the shredded mango, shallots, lemongrass, coriander and spring onions into the salad bowl and toss.
- Serve the mango salad with the crispy fish.
JAY'S POTATO-CRUSTED FISH WITH MANGO SALSA
Steps:
- Make the salsa: Mix the mango, jalapeno, onion, lime juice, cilantro and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl; fold in the olive oil. Prepare the fish: Mix the instant potatoes, lime zest, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in another dish. Season the flour with salt and black pepper in a third dish. Dredge each fish fillet in the seasoned flour, dip in the eggs, then coat completely with the potato mixture.
- Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, place the fish curved-side down in the pan; cook until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the other side, about 3 more minutes. Top with the salsa and more cilantro.

FISH WITH MANGO SALSA
A few years ago, a good friend and I would get together every Saturday evening for dinner. One week, neither of us felt particularly inspired, so we combined random leftovers from our refrigerators, and quite accidentally we created this - a light, healthy, and wonderfully delicious summer dish. Pairs beautifully with grilled asparagus and a light off-dry white wine, such as a sauvignon blanc. The fish used originally was shark steaks - but since then, it has been tested with sole, catfish, tilapia, flounder, cod, and even chicken - with equal success. Enjoy.

CARIBBEAN FISH WITH MANGO SALSA
Now for something completely different, how about a little Caribbean/Creole feel? This can be done with fish or with scallops and will wake up the little taste buds. Please forgive me, I am not a real recipe follower, and I change it around all the time. Hope this works for you, love to hear about it. I never wrote it as a recipe, sort of a seat of the pants guy. One item to complete it that I may add is Zatarain's Caribbean Rice®, and in this I add 1/2 red bell pepper and 1/4 cup of fresh pineapple.

Steps:
- Prepare the mango salsa: Stir together the mango, onion, lime juice, red pepper, vinegar, sugar, vegetable oil, cilantro and curry powder in a bowl. Season salsa with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Place the coconut flakes in a food processor and pulse very briefly, until they are a bit more finely shredded. Add 1/3 cup flour, the cumin, curry powder, salt and pepper and pulse to mix. Transfer mixture to a shallow plate.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water.
- Place the remaining 1/3 cup flour on a second plate. Dredge the fillets first in the plain flour (shaking off excess), then in the egg mixture (letting excess drip off), and finally in the coconut mixture, coating both sides completely.
- Heat the olive oil and the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the fillets until they are browned on both sides and cooked through on the inside, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Spoon a bit of the mango salsa on each fillet and serve.
Tips:
- For the perfect crispy crust, ensure the coconut mixture is evenly coated on the fish fillets.
- Use a large skillet to prevent overcrowding the fish fillets, which can result in soggy breading.
- Cook the fillets over medium heat to prevent burning the coconut crust while ensuring the fish is cooked through.
- To achieve a golden brown crust, flip the fillets halfway through the cooking process.
- Use a sharp knife to create a fine dice for the mango salsa, ensuring each ingredient is evenly distributed.
- If the mango salsa is too spicy, adjust the heat level by adding more honey or pineapple juice.
- For a refreshing salsa, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Garnish the fish fillets with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor and color.
