GRILLED TILAPIA WITH MANGO SALSA
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.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium-high.
- Lightly coat the mango slices and onion discs in olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place mango slices on a medium high grill approximately 2 minutes on each side. Grill onions approximately 2 to 4 minutes on each side, being careful to turn only once (this will help keep them together and avoid pieces falling through the grill). When mangos have nice grill marks after a couple minutes on each side, remove from grill. Once onions have slightly charred, but still retain moderate firmness, remove from grill.
- Chop the mango and onion and place in large mixing bowl. Combine all of the above ingredients including juice of lime and orange and add salt and pepper to taste. In the mixing process a large amount of juice will gather at the bottom of the bowl. I recommend draining the juice, and placing the salsa in a refrigerator, covered for approximately 20 minutes. Then, use the salsa on top of grilled fish or serve as a side dish.

MANGO-LICIOUS TILAPIA
My son's girlfriend, Nicole, named this 'mango-licous'. The mango salsa is great over the tilapia, as a dip or on cottage cheese. Try serving the tilapia over brown basmati rice or lightly dressed salad greens for a complete meal. Then generously top with the salsa. Mango-licious!!

Tips:
- Choose the freshest tilapia you can find. Fresh tilapia will have a mild, sweet flavor and a firm, white flesh.
- If you're using frozen tilapia, thaw it thoroughly before cooking. You can thaw tilapia in the refrigerator overnight, in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes, or in the microwave on the defrost setting.
- Season the tilapia with your favorite herbs and spices. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
- Grill the tilapia over medium heat until it is cooked through. Tilapia is a relatively thin fish, so it will cook quickly. Depending on the thickness of your fillets, they should be cooked through in about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Serve the tilapia with your favorite sides. Some good options include mango salsa, rice, grilled vegetables, or salad.
Conclusion:
Grilled tilapia with mango salsa is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The tilapia is cooked to perfection and the mango salsa adds a delicious burst of sweetness and acidity. This dish is also very easy to make, so it is a great option for busy weeknights.
