Blackened Fish with Mango Salsa


Wow, it seems to make such a difference of how I feel based on what I eat!  Tonight we ate completely healthy and delicious food. Blackened Fish with Mango Salsa and a Spinach and Strawberry Salad. The food was really good, and I feel really good about what I just put into my body!

Fish
Talapia
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Paprika
Dash - Cayenne

Make sure the fish is thawed out. If you buy it frozen and individually wrapped, you can put the packets in cold water and it will thraw out in no time at all.

Heat a little oil in a large pan, preferrable cast iron. While the oil is heating season both sides of the fish liberally with salt, pepper, garlic, onion and paprika, then just a dash of cayenne. Put the fish in the pan and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes depending on size. Flip the fish once and finish cooking.  Don't play with it, just let it cook. You can also grill it.

Mango Salsa
1 Mango - chopped finely
2 green onions sliced thin
1/2 to 1 jalepeno - diced
1/2 to 3/4 red bell pepper
juice from 1 lime
splash of red wine vinegar
Salt & Pepper to taste
Cilantro

Mix all ingredients and let set for the flavors to combine. This is really good on almost anything, and we did actually eat it on hot dogs one day! Some times I will use salsa instead of a salad dressing on my salads.

What do you eat salsa on?
