Mango Avocado Salsa

You guys know what tonight is? It’s LOST night!! I have been waiting for this since last summer when I watched all 5 previous seasons in, like, 2 weeks time. I’m absolutely addicted to the show and it’s not often that I enjoy a show so much. If I’m working on the computer, I almost always have a LOST episode on in the background.

One of my alltime favorite parts of the show is when (undead) Locke says, “I think this is the best mango I’ve ever eaten” so I wanted to do mango salsa in honor of the premier. And you know they ate a lot of fish on the island so I served in on top of pan-fried tilapia that I lightly coated in flour with a little Creole seasoning sprinkled in.

The salsa is amazing. The sweet and spicy combo was perfect on top of the fish! Even Spencer, who typically wouldn’t touch anything like this, loved it. It was also very good with tortilla chips.

Mango Avocado Salsa

    This is the one, this is the salsa recipe I have only dreamed about in my head. Mango which I have loved and a very favorite of mine since a child (a very,very,very long time ago) and Avocado (wish Pawpaw would taste just once, but who cares. All the more for me) and they are brought together here. I can see a trip to the grocery store tomorrow. I was just there yesterday. So happy the store is just a few blocks away.

    the colors in this are beautiful! i used to hate guac, but now i’m learning to like it…so i’m sort of, kind of ready for regular avacados. i might try this on the boy and see what he things :) i wonder if it’ll be good on chicken since i’m not a fish eater. is Tilapia a strong odor when cooking? Does it have a fishy taste at all? Even mild fish like Halibut makes me gag so i may be at a loss :(

      No, it’s not fishy at all! I don’t like anything fishy but I can handle tilapia. The salsa was really good with tortilla chips if you don’t wanna do fish!
