Serves: 4
Ingredients
For the Fish:
4 tilapia filets, 4-6 oz. each
2 tablespoons butter
salt
pepper
For the Chutney:
2 mangoes diced, plus reserved juice
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons finely diced onion
2 tablespoons finely diced jalapeno
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
⅓ cup cucumber, chopped
⅓ cup red bell pepper, chopped
4 mint leaves, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons sugar
¼ teaspoon cumin
dash of salt
⅛-1/4 teaspoon pepper, depending on taste
Directions
Prepare the chutney ahead of time by chopping and dicing all vegetables. Mix together in a medium sized mixing bowl. Squeeze skins of mangoes to release any extra juice from the fruit into the bowl. Add lime juice, salt, pepper, cumin, sugar, chopped mint leaves. Stir to combine. Chill in fridge for at least 2 hours.
To prepare the fish, heat butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Salt and pepper each side of the fish filets. Once butter is melted and pan is hot place fish filets spread apart in skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
Serve immediately with cold mango chutney on top.
