Red Snapper with Mango Salsa
I got a lovely piece of red snapper on sale in whole foods recently I got to craving it after Michael on the chow and chatter facebook page said it was his favorite fish. I also wanted something really nice to cook on our new cast iron grill pan ;-) red snapper can be endangered depending on where it is fished so be sure to ask. I am also very keen on buying sustainable fish and was impressed with @WholeFoodsPR on twitter for sending me useful links on their polices another great resource is The Monterey Bay aquarium seafood watch guide they also have an iphone and android app. I simply pan fried the fish and served it with a mango salsa and cous cous it was delicious.
Ingredients:
- 2 small pieces of red snapper - lightly marinated in olive oil, salt and pepper
- a box of cous cous
- 1 mango, peeled and diced
- 1-2 small green chili's finely chopped depending on level of spiciness required
- 1/2 red onion chopped
- one small tomato chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/3 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- a pinch of cumin
Method:
- grill the fish
- for the salsa chop and simply mix all the ingredients together
- serve the fish with the salsa and cous cous
What resources do you use when buying seafood?
we had a lovely late birthday party for Jasmine last weekend to make her feel special and I thought it would be fun for mum and dad heres a lovely butterfly cake my mum made :-)
Mum and Dad leave today it will be lonely for sure and a big adjustment for us to adapt to managing two little ones, they will be missed :(
our little guy
Lovely cake; used to make some just like this for my boys. Happy Birthday to Jasmine!
ReplyDeleteHere is Canada we have SeaChoice to try and make people aware of how to make the right choices. Love that salsa and would be wonderful withh my pickerel I am serving tomorrow.

Delicious fish recipe Rebecca! I have the Montreey Bay seafood app on my phone and use it when I'm shopping. Love your butterfly cake too. Happy B-day to Jasmine :-). I remember when my parents left to go back home after my second child was born. It was definitely an adjustment, but I know you and your husband will do a great job on your own!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I have a seafood store here where I live and I usually shop for fish on the day's they get shipments. that's the only way to ensure it's fresh since I live in CO.
ReplyDeleteI can so rarely buy fresh fish. I always order it out. Wish I could duplicate this dish . . . and happy birthday to Jasmine!
ReplyDeleteLooks yum!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Jasmine!
A lovely way to prepare the snapper. Yum! Around here we have many places to get good fresh seafood.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Jasmine! Look at the little one's face...so much expression already! :)
Sencillito y delicioso.

I love red snapper. The mango salsa would go perfectly with this fish, great recipe, Rebecca.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Jasmine! so cute your little guy. Your dish look tempting!
ReplyDeleteThis fish dish looks great. What a cute cake too! I hope you are adjusting well after your parents left.
ReplyDeleteAAAAH!!! Look at the precious new kid in the family!!! How sweet! Congrats, Rebecca~
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the visit to my blog. I love this recipe of yours but then we love all fish. We generally buy our fish at the bi-weekly market where it is fresh in and much cheaper than the supermarkets. Oysters and mussels are very cheap. Hope to see you back. Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteLove red snapper too! The dish looks so tasty with mango salsa.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Jasmine! And your little boy looks so CUTE!
Happy Birthday, Jasmine! And I see she had a baby brother as a party guest! No cake for him though! :(
ReplyDeleteLovely fish dish, Rebecca. I do love mango with fish!
Love the focus on sustainability! I have a mango, I could do this.
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca, my BIG CONGRATS on your new born baby boy!! Oh, he is so beautiful and adorable!! What joy! I'm sure Jasmine is so proud of her baby brother! That's a pretty birthday cake for Jasmine. I hope you are eating well and resting well. Take care.
ReplyDeleteaww congrats! i can't believe you have time to blog when you have a little girl and a little baby at home! you are so strong!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! The salsa looks pretty and tasty! Loved your post about Versailles. I took my grandson there...such a wonderful icon of French history! And...you are right...only a short distance from Paris! Happy week!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteI love mango Salsa! It's perfect with fish!
ReplyDeleteRebecca thanks for passing from my blog and look forward to reading more of your recipes. First of all Happy Birthday to your precious little one. She is so cute.
ReplyDeleteWe eat a lot of fish which I usually get at the farmers' market where there is a section for fish mongers. I am not sure if we have red snapper but the salsa sounds delicious for me to try soon.
oh this looks so wonderful! i love that salsa!
ReplyDeleteI love to know the fish that I'm buying is not endangered and is actually good for me too. There are so many fish choices out there that aren't even worth buying. Your red snapper looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteLovely family photos and little Roshan looks so alert. What a wonderful party you were able to give her before your parents left. I'm sure you will all miss them.
I love red snapper; but, it has been years since I've eaten it. This looks delicious. Love that you've paired it with mango salsa!
