- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Ripe mango
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice

Instructions
Season the tilapia fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tilapia fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
While the fish cooks, prepare the mango salsa. Peel and dice the mango into small cubes and add to a bowl.
Finely dice the red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño (if using). Add them to the bowl with the mango.
Chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl, followed by the lime juice and honey. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Plate the cooked tilapia fillets and top each one with a generous spoonful of mango salsa.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as coconut rice or a fresh green salad, and enjoy your Island Mango Tilapia!
