GRILLED RED TILAPIA with MANGO SALSA

INGREDIENTS:
1/3cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh parsley (minced)
1 clove minced garlic
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp black pepper (ground)
1/2 tsp salt
12 oz red tilapia fillets
1 mango (ripe, peeled pitted and diced)
1/2 red bell pepper (diced)
2 tbsps red onion (minced)
1 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 jalapeno pepper (seeded and minced)
2 tbsps lime juice
1 tbsp lemon juice

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

1  Whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, basil, black pepper, and salt in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the red tilapia fillets, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

2  Prepare the mango salsa by combining the mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper in a bowl. Add the lime juice and  lemon juice, and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

3  Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.

4  Remove the tilapia from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the fillets until the fish is no longer translucent in the center, and flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Serve the grilled red tilapia topped with the mango salsa.
