Ingredients

Scale

For the Fish

  • 1 lb (450 g) white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or mahi-mahi)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Mango Salsa

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • ½ red bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt to taste

Optional for Serving

  • Coconut rice or steamed jasmine rice
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mango salsa: In a bowl, combine diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  2. Marinate the fish: Rub the fish fillets thoroughly with lime juice, lime zest, salt, and black pepper. Let them marinate for 10 to 15 minutes to infuse the flavors properly.
  3. Cook the fish: Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the marinated fish fillets in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until the fish turns opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
  4. Serve: Plate the cooked fish and generously top with the prepared mango salsa. Serve alongside coconut rice or steamed jasmine rice, garnished with lime wedges if desired for an extra zing.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, firm white fish for the best texture and flavor.
  • The jalapeño in the salsa is optional; omit for a milder dish.
  • Adjust salt according to taste in both fish marinade and salsa.
  • Serve immediately for best freshness, but salsa can be made a few hours in advance.
  • For a gluten-free option, confirm that all ingredients like sauces or oils are gluten-free.
