Baked Tilapia with Fresh Mango Slaw

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sea Cuisine. All opinions are 100% mine.

Some summer nights it’s just too hot to want to eat anything heavy or rich! That’s why I turn to seafood recipes that are light and delicious. What makes this baked Tilapia and fresh mango slaw dinner recipe one of my favorites, is because you can cook the fish AND toss together the mango slaw at the same time.

Mangoes are some of my favorite tropical fruits, and I like to take advantage of whenever they’re in season. I love pairing fruit and citrus with seafood, as the sweetness tends to counterbalance and add a bit of brightness to the fish.

Sea Cuisine has become a go-to in our house for fish options that are sustainably sourced along with a premium selection of chef crafted seafood. Their pan seared Garlic Herb & Tilapia filets are delicious on their own or ‘doctored-up’ with a tasty sauce or, in this case, a slaw.

This baked Tilapia with Fresh Mango slaw recipe is perfect for serving when hosting, too! You’ll impress your guests with a tasty dish that looks like it took you longer than 30 minutes to create. You can also catch another simple, yet tasty recipe for guests using Sea Cuisine: Salmon Fish Tacos with Guacamole Salsa.

Sea Cuisine premium seafood can be found at retailers like Albertson’s, Kroger and Target in the frozen section. Sea Cuisine focuses on sourcing their products both sustainably and legally.

The fresh mango slaw is simple to put together, and tastes creamy, yet light, thanks to the addition of Greek Yogurt. I love using Greek Yogurt as a substitute for cream or milk in recipes, as it generally lightens up sauces and adds some nice flavor.

You can even opt to make the Mango slaw prior to cooking the fish and chill in the fridge until you’re ready to garnish the baked fish. The combination of sweet mango with salty bell peppers and a little tang from the Greek Yogurt makes for a delicious seafood topping come dinnertime!
