Coriander And Lime-Crusted Tilapia Fish With Mango Salsa

It seems like Tilapia fish is a very popular choice of fish everywhere these days, and no difference here in Vancouver. They can be purchased either live and still swimming in the tank or quick frozen. This fish has a mild flavor; but, is full of protein, low calorie, and low saturated fat. Anyway, I baked this Coriander and Lime-Crusted Tilapia Fish using a packet of quick frozen Tilapia fillets in less than 8 minutes. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the Tilapia, which I served with some fresh mango salsa. If you need the recipe for the mango salsa, you can get it here. Just remember to dice all the ingredients into smaller than the usual bite sized pieces to complement this delicate fish. Enjoy!
