I saw a variation of this on the National Mango Board website in a ceviche, but wanted to cook the fish in the oven so I switched it up a bit.
I was very apprehensive to try this mango tilapia recipe out with my family because it isn’t something that I would typically make. I had some mangos left over that the National Mango Board had provided me to complete my post about Mango Waffles and wanted to try to use them all since we don’t get fresh mangos very often.
My family absolutely loved this recipe. My husband even mentioned that he loved how the mangos tasted along with the marinated tilapia and cilantro. Bless my family for sitting through all of the recipes that I try out for my blog! I can tell you one thing, cooking new flavors for my family has definitely got us out of the rut where we just eat the same things over and over again. I have been able to sneak in so many fruits and veggies that we weren’t eating before also!
