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.

Tips for Cooking Spicy Fish with Tropical Salsa
When cooking the spicy fish, it is important to use a high-quality fish fillet. A firm, white fish such as tilapia or cod works well. The fish should be cooked until it is flaky and opaque, but not overcooked. To achieve the best flavor, marinate the fish in a mixture of spices and herbs before cooking. This will help to infuse the fish with flavor and keep it moist. When making the tropical salsa, it is important to use fresh, ripe fruit. This will give the salsa a bright, vibrant flavor. Be sure to dice the fruit into small pieces so that it is easy to eat. The salsa can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to two days.Conclusion: Enjoying a Flavorful and Nutritious Meal
Spicy fish with tropical salsa is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. The fish is packed with protein and omega-3 fatty acids, while the salsa is a good source of vitamins and minerals. This dish is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for busy weeknights. When served with a side of rice or vegetables, spicy fish with tropical salsa is a complete and satisfying meal.
