Apricot Mango Fillets

SERVES

COOK TIME
15 Min

No need to get out the tartar sauce or ketchup to top these fish fillets. That's 'cause I've spruced them up with a burst of fruit. Yeah...fruit!

What You'll Need

  • 1 pound fresh or frozen white-fleshed fish fillets, such as cod, haddock, or whiting
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 can (16 ounces) apricot halves, drained
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 mango, peeled, pitted, and chopped

What to Do

  1. Preheat the broiler.

  2. Place the fish fillets on a broiler pan or rimmed baking sheet that has been coated with nonstick vegetable spray. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and broil for 5 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, the apricot halves, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper; blend on medium speed until a chunky purée forms. Pour the mixture into a small bowl and add the chopped mango; mix well. Spoon over the fish and broil for 4 to 6 more minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the sauce is hot and bubbly. Serve immediately.

Notes

Papaya makes a good substitute for mango, but if no tropical fruits are available, 2 fresh peaches will work just as well.
