Grilled Tilapia with Mango Salsa image

Don't let the list of ingredients fool you: this is super-easy, and gets rave reviews whenever I serve it. The salsa can be made the day ahead to save time. Strawberries can be substituted for the mango if you prefer--both are excellent! Combine leftover salsa with some drained black beans the next day for lunch.

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tilapia

Time 1h55m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

⅓ 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
½ teaspoon salt
2 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted and diced
½ 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

Steps:

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

Tips:

  • Choose fresh tilapia fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Marinate the tilapia fillets before grilling. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the fish. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices.
  • Grill the tilapia fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill and will allow it to cook evenly.
  • Cook the tilapia fillets until they are cooked through. The flesh of the fish should be opaque and flaky. You can check the doneness of the fish by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fork comes out clean, the fish is cooked through.
  • Serve the tilapia fillets with pineapple salsa. Pineapple salsa is a refreshing and flavorful salsa that complements the grilled tilapia perfectly. You can make pineapple salsa by combining diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper.

Conclusion:

Grilled tilapia with pineapple salsa is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The tilapia is grilled to perfection and the pineapple salsa adds a refreshing and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
