Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a shallow dish, combine lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Place the tilapia fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  1. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, finely chopped habanero pepper, honey, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and olive oil.

  2. 5

    Mix everything together until well combined. Season with salt to taste and set aside.

Cooking the Fish

  1. 6

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 7

    Cook the marinated tilapia fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Place the cooked tilapia fillets on a serving plate and top generously with the mango habanero sauce.

  2. 9

    Garnish with lime wedges and additional cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
