Ingredients
Marinade
- cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- 1 tsp. ground black pepper
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- 4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
Salsa
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted and diced
- ½ red bell pepper, diced
- 2 Tbsp. minced red onion
- 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 2 Tbsp. lime juice
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
Directions
- Whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice,
parsley, garlic, basil, pepper and salt in a bowl and pour into a
resealable plastic bag.
- Add the tilapia fillets, coat with the marinade, squeeze out
excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for one
hour.
- Prepare the mango salsa by combining the mango, red bell
pepper, red onion, cilantro and jalapeno pepper in a bowl. Add the
lime juice and lemon juice and toss well. Season to taste with salt
and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil
grate. Remove the tilapia from the marinade and shake off excess.
Discard the remaining marinade.
- Grill the fillets until the fish is no longer translucent in
the center, and flakes easily with a fork, 3-4 minutes per
side.
