This was very bland and as another reviewer mentioned, the mango became mushy. The salsa in general was lacking in any piquancy. The snapper we used was very fresh and quite delicious, but could have been so much better with a little more flavoring. Won't be making this again.

Keep the kitchen cool and grill your entire main dish tonight. Grilling the mango brings out the sweetness, which perfectly balance the flavor of the fish. Serve with orange-scented couscous.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and 1/3 cup salsa)
