This is my boyfriend's absolute favourite meal. It is very easy to prepare, and goes great on top of lemon basmati rice. I like to present it by placing the tilapia on top of lemon basmati rice, with the mango salsa spread over top of the fish. Ingredients:
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
1 clove garlic, minced |
2 teaspoons dried basil |
2 teaspoons ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 tilapia fillets |
2/3 cup chopped mango |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
2 tablespoons orange juice |
4 teaspoons minced jalapeno pepper |
4 teaspoons minced red onion |
2 teaspoons minced red bell pepper |
2 teaspoons minced green bell pepper |
1 teaspoon dried parsley |
1 teaspoon ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Stir the olive oil, garlic, basil, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl. Put the tilapia fillets in a resealable plastic bag; pour the olive oil mixture over the fillets and seal the bag. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour.
2. Make the salsa by stirring the mango, lime juice, orange juice, jalapeno pepper, red onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, parsley, and black pepper together in a bowl. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
4. Remove the tilapia from the marinade, shaking off any excess oil, and wrap each fillet in a piece of aluminum foil.
5. Cook the tilapia on the preheated grill until the flesh easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Spoon the salsa over the tilapia to serve.
