Cathy17's Note:

Yet another recipe from Canadian Magazine, Chatelaine. What's great about their recipes is they are triple tested and always tasty. Great to dress up grilled chicken, steak, fish or burgers. Recipe is easily doubled.

I enjoyed this! It was very easy to make. Made for Healthy Choices ABC Tag.

I was looking for a quick fix to give perch a tropical flair and this was it! I used chopped red onion (a quarter of one) instead of green, left out the yellow pepper (had no sweet peppers on hand) and used chopped regular tomato instead of cherry/grape. I also used a whole mango instead of half, added more cilantro and garlic, and left in some of the jalapeno seeds. I put the mix in the fridge for about a half hour while my perch was baking, then served it over the fish with hot rice. Very tasty! I will be trying this again with yellow pepper next time. Thanks!
