Tilapia with Mango Salsa Verde

After messing around with a few different items I had on hand, I came up with a very simple recipe that your taste buds will love! This light and healthy fish is fused together with the flavors of the Caribbean and Central America. It's tangy and sweet with just a little kick. Serve with white or Spanish rice and top off with the salsa juices.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Squeeze lemon juice over fish fillets and season with salt and pepper; set aside.

Step 2

Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add mango, salsa verde, chicken broth, jalapeno, and recaito; bring to a simmer. Add wine and lime juice, then drizzle in olive oil. Bring to a light boil.
