Coconut Mango Tilapia Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.)
• In a shallow baking dish, combine the olive oil, orange zest, orange juice, salt, pepper and chili flakes. Rinse the fish fillets and pat them dry. Place them into the baking dish and turn to coat with the seasonings.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until fish can be flaked with a fork.
• While the fish cooks, combine the mango, onion, avocado, tomatoes, lime zest and juice, jalapeno, ginger, cilantro and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a glass bowl. Stir to blend and set aside at room temperature until fish has finished cooking. Place fillets on a platter and spoon the salsa over them to serve.

Steps:

• Whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, parsley, garlic, basil, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon 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 1 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 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and 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 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Serve the tilapia topped with mango salsa.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high direct heat (350 to 400 degrees). In a blender or food processor blend tortilla chips, coconut, dried fruit, onion powder, garlic powder and salt to taste to make fine crumbs. Place in a resealable plastic bag. Add the cilantro and bell pepper, seal bag and shake to blend.
• Stir together lime juice and oil in a shallow dish. Dip 1 fillet in lime juice mixture to coat. Transfer to crumb mixture in plastic bag. Seal the bag and coat. Press coating firmly onto fish. Repeat with remaining fillets.
• Place fillets in foil pan or on non-stick aluminum foil. Grill, covered 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Combine chile pepper, garlic and shallots in a food processor, and process until minced.
• Add the mango, vinegar, orange juice, thyme, salt and olive oil; process until smooth.
• Place the mango mixture and the fish in a zip-top plastic bag; seal and marinate in refrigerator 20 minutes.
• Remove fish from bag, reserving marinade.
• Pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Prepare the grill or broiler.
• Place fish on grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray.
• Cook 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
• Serve with mango sauce.
