DIRECTIONS
I started preparing the mango salsa early in the day, doing some chopping while the kids ate breakfast. This is the baggy of chopped jalepeno, green onion, and red pepper that I stored until I got my mangos from the store later. The mangos that I bought last week rotted on my counter while I was out of town. Now chop your mango. If you’ve never cut into a mango before, you might want to check out these easy instructions.Throw all of the veggies into a bowl with your chopped mango and…grate a little lime peel. Add it to the bowl with some salt, pepper, lime juice, vinegar, and olive oil and give it a stir.Now melt some butter for the fish and stir in some cumin and garlic powder.Pat your fish dry and cut it crosswise into 3/4″ slices.Put the fish into a shallow baking dish and brush with the butter. Bake at 450 degrees for 4-6 minutes until it flakes with a fork.While the fish bakes, combine 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise with a teaspoon of lime juice.Toss it with some shredded cabbage.To assemble the tacos, spoon the coleslaw mixture into the taco shell. Arrange the fish on top of the coleslaw and then top with mango salsa. Dee-licious! At least to me.
