Trout Tacos with Mango Salsa Serves 2
4 small trout fillets 1 tsp chili powder ½ tsp cayenne powder 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp salt 1 mango, peeled and cubed ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced ¼ cup red pepper, small dice Pinch salt ½ lime, juiced ¼ tsp cumin 4 leaves Bibb lettuce Jalapeño, lime and cilantro for garnish 1. Season trout with a mix of chili, cayenne, cumin, and salt. Bake in a 350º F oven for 5-8 minutes. 2. Combine remaining ingredients for the salsa, adjusting seasoning to taste. 3. Serve the trout on top of a lettuce leaf and garnish with salsa.
Note:
this recipe can be adjusted to your heat preference by adding more or less chili, cayenne, and jalapeños to the tacos. The riper the mango - the better your salsa, as the sweetness from the mango balances the rest of the flavours.
