Mild white fish pairs with a fresh mango, tomato, and lime salsa in this colorful family dinner. Use snapper, grouper, or another firm white fish and adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets.
In a bowl, combine the diced mango, tomato, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Stir gently and set the mango salsa aside while you prepare the fish.
Pat the fish fillets dry and sprinkle both sides lightly with Cajun seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Add the fish and cook for about 3-5 minutes on the first side, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Turn carefully and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and reaches 145°F (63°C).
Serve each fish fillet topped with a generous spoonful of mango salsa.
Kid Cooking Tip: Kids can help dice softer salsa ingredients with an age-appropriate knife, squeeze the lime, measure the cilantro, and stir the salsa together. An adult should supervise cutting and cooking the fish.
Try Another Fish: This mango salsa also pairs well with other mild white fish. Choose fillets of similar thickness so the cooking time stays close to the recipe.
