Skillet Tilapia Tacos with Mango Salsa

TL;DR: Make salsa. Season tilapia. Toast tortillas in pan and keep them warm in oven while fish cooks. Assemble tacos and douse in salsa.
Servings 8 tacos

Ingredients
  

Mango Salsa

  • 1 large mango peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 shallot finely chopped (or half a red onion)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Skillet Tilapia Tacos

  • 4 large or 8 small fillets of tilapia skin removed and thawed from frozen
  • 1 tablespoon fine sea salt plus extra as needed
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
  • 8 to 16 corn tortillas (see note)
  • 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil such as canola
  • lime juice freshly squeezed

Notes

Note: If your corn tortillas are small and a little flimsy, you will want to have 2 per taco (for a total of 16), but if you have larger, sturdier ones, you should need only 1 per fish fillet (for a total of 8).
