Spiced Tilapia With Mango Black Bean Salsa created by Maggie

From Fine Cooking's "Cooking Fresh." This salsa is wonderful and versatile. Even though this recipe is for 2 servings, I suggest you make the whole batch of salsa (Recipe #230800) and store it for other dishes. It is obviously easier to make in larger batches. Try this spice rub on chicken or grilled chops as well!

Very, very yum! I'm working my way up to eating more fish, and this made it really good! The spice rub is something we will use on lots of things, and I really liked the salsa even if it wasn't my other half's favorite. I do love the idea, though, so I might just alter the salsa a bit to get something we both love. Thank you for sharing a winner!!
