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:

Select the freshest tilapia fillets. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a bright, pink color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
Use ripe mangoes. Ripe mangoes are sweeter and more flavorful. To tell if a mango is ripe, gently press on the skin. It should give slightly to the touch.
Don't overcook the tilapia. Tilapia is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
Serve the tilapia immediately. Tilapia is best served hot off the pan. It can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
