Baked Tilapia with Mango Salsa

Mango season is here and it’s the time of the year I dread most for my weight. I am just an incurable Mango addict, particularly the variety called Cherry. The variety I am using for this dish is called Peter and Paul, ( the large mangoes) don’t ask me why the name ‘cos I don’t know myself. This variety work well for this dish because of the texture of the flesh. For most of us Mango is a fruit that should be eaten as snack or juiced as a drink. Today I decide to incorporate it in a dish, its a Thai inspired dish. My first experience of having this dish was simply delicious . Mango in a meal, it certainly works quite well with fish. You can pair the fish meal with rice or simply have the fish meal, I can confirm that it’s quite filling. As soon as the fish came out of the oven and was photographed my sister and her daughter stopped by, the Tilapia draped in Mango Salsa was devoured and I felt satisfied. You will enjoy it just as they did.
