Baked Tilapia with Mango Salsa

I try to eat fish at least five times per week. Not to mention in S Florida there are all sorts of fresh fish to take advantage of. I had purchased a mango and if not used it was about to go bad. I also had a serrano pepper, fresh cilantro and a red bell pepper that I had to use up. I hate to waste food and being my mother is always preaching about wasting food I had to make something. So I ventured into the fruit salsa arena and prepared a mango salsa that was so light and refreshing which married perfectly with the Baked Tilapia. It would go perfectly with most any white fish. It’s light, healthy and can be prepared in minutes.

I hope you like this simple dish or Baked Tilapia with Mango Salsa.
