Ingredients

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, chopped

  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic

  • 2 large shallots, peeled

  • 2 cups mango, peeled and chopped

  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice

  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets

  • Cooking spray

Directions

  • Pulse the jalapeno pepper, minced garlic, and peeled shallots in a food processor. Add the mango, balsamic vinegar, orange juice, dried thyme, salt, and olive oil, processing until it becomes a smooth paste. Pour this mixture into a sealable bag.

  • Drop the four tilapia fillets into the bag and roll them in the marinade to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. Remove the fish and save the marinade.

  • Place the fillets in a broiler pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Broil 4 minutes on each side or until fish is flaky.

  • Meanwhile, boil the marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

  • Place the fish on a serving plate and pour the marinade on top.
