Poached Tilapia With Mango Salsa Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 6-ounce Tilapia filets

Marinade

• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, minced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Mango Salsa

• 1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted and diced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• 2 tablespoons red onion, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• salt and pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Whisk together marinade ingredients and pour into a zip-lock bag. Add the tilapia filets, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator a minimum of 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
2. Prepare the salsa by combining the mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper in a small bowl. Add the lemon and lime juices and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. Remove tilapia from the marinade and shake off excess.
4. In a sauté pan, add 2-3 tablespoons water, place tilapia in the pan and cover with parchment paper with a hole cut in center. Bring water to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat and poach the fish for 4-5 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the fillet.
