Lime juice
The dish known as fish tacos with mango salsa is a fusion of flavors and textures that originates from Mexican cuisine, but has become popular across the globe due to its unique taste and refreshing twist on traditional tacos.
For the preparation of fish tacos with mango salsa, you will need to start by preparing the mango salsa. This involves combining diced mangos, red onion, jalapeño pepper, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and a hint of sugar in a bowl. The mixture should be stirred gently until well combined.
The lime juice is crucial in this recipe as it helps to maintain the freshness of the ingredients while also balancing out the sweetness of the mangos. You can use freshly squeezed lime juice or bottled lime juice for convenience, but using fresh lime juice will result in a more vibrant flavor.
Once the mango salsa is prepared, you can proceed with preparing the fish for the tacos. For this recipe, we recommend using sustainable white fish such as cod or tilapia that has been seasoned with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before being lightly battered with a mixture of flour, cornstarch, and egg whites.
The battered fish should then be fried until it is golden brown and crispy, after which it can be set aside to rest while the tacos are prepared. The tacos themselves consist of warm flour or corn tortillas that have been toasted on both sides before being filled with a generous portion of the battered fish, topped with a spoonful of the mango salsa, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
To assemble the dish, simply place a portion of the fish onto one half of the tortilla, followed by a dollop of mango salsa, a few slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to enclose the filling, and serve immediately while the fish is still crispy and the mango salsa is fresh.

Taco Fixings
You will need corn tortillas, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese (optional), and sour cream or Mexican crema.
To make the fish, combine 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano in a bowl. Add the fish pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
After the fish has marinated, remove it from the liquid and pat it dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture from affecting the cooking process. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the fish until it is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
To make the mango salsa, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Just before serving, warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Assemble the tacos by placing a piece of fish on each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of mango salsa, some shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and any other desired toppings.
Let the tacos sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is crucial in allowing the fish to retain its moisture and the flavors to develop properly.
Serve the Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa immediately, garnished with additional cilantro and lime wedges if desired. Enjoy!
