Tips:

  • Choose a ripe mango: A ripe mango should be slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet, tropical aroma. Avoid mangoes that are too hard or have green skin, as they will not be as flavorful.
  • Use fresh tilapia fillets: Fresh tilapia fillets should be firm and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have an off odor.
  • Season the fish well: Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it is important to season it well. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good starting point. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat: Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Tilapia is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that the fish is flaky and moist.
