This recipe for broiled whitefish topped with tangy mango salsa is both flavorful and festive. It’s a light and fun dish for date night and an outdoor family meal on a warm evening.
There’s something about a perfectly cooked fish that makes me feel like I’m on a beach vacation, all the more so when it’s paired with sweet and slightly spicy salsa. This combo is paired perfectly with my Broiled Whitefish with Mango Salsa.
Whitefish are favorites of seafood eaters, and can even appeal to those who think of themselves as more seafood-averse. Their low oil content and mild flavor make them an excellent backdrop for more flavor-packed sides, sauces, and salsas.
Ingredients
- Whitefish: My go to choices are halibut, tilapia, or grouper.
- Olive oil: Coats the fish to help it cook evenly and the seasoning stick.
- Mango salsa: I love to make my own with fresh mango, onion, cilantro, chili pepper, and lime juice.
How to Make Broiled Whitefish with Mango Salsa
Step 1. Take your fish fillets and drizzle in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil on high for about 3-4 minutes a side.
Step 2. While fish is broiling, you can make your mango salsa by scoring your mango into small, diced pieces.
Step 3. Then add mango, onion, chili pepper, and cilantro to a bowl with fresh lime juice.
Step 4. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir until fully combined.
When fish is finished, serve topped with the mango salsa and fresh lime wedges. Enjoy!
