Cajun Tilapia with Mango Salsa

This mango salsa recipe is delicious!  My friend Tiffany R. shared this with me, and I'm so glad she did.  It was great with the fish, as well as an appetizer with chips.  I used my Cajun seasoning for the fish.  I love the Cajun recipe because it stores well.  It is great on chicken too!



Cajun Tilapia with Mango Salsa  

Cajun Seasoning Blend:
2 1/2 Tbsp. paprika
2 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. dried thyme
1 Tbsp. ground red pepper
1 Tbsp. black pepper

Tilapia fillets(or whatever fish desired)

Combine ingredients and store in an airtight container.  When ready to use rub a small amount of Cajun mixture on fish. (This can be kind of spicy, so go easy on the Cajun mixture, until you figure out how much you like.  It doesn't take a ton to get a good flavor)  Add a couple of dabs of butter on top.  Bake at 350  until fish is flaky (about 20 min. or so depending on thickness of fish).  Top with the mango salsa before serving.

Mango Salsa:
3-4 medium size, ripe mango, peeled, pitted and diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Combine 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.
