Noteworthy Ingredients
White fish: I used haddock to make this recipe but feel free to use cod, snapper, tilapia, etc. Fish is high in protein and unsaturated fats in the form of omega-3 fatty acids, benefitting heart health. The Mayo Clinic recommends two servings of fish a week to help prevent heart disease, so eat up!
Cumin, paprika, cayenne: adds a great depth of flavour to the fish.
Mango: rich in skin-friendly nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin A and E, this sweet and juicy fruit encourages the production of collagen, speeds skin healing and may reduce signs of aging.
Chives: adds a slight garlicky note without an overwhelming onion flavour.
Mint and cilantro: rich in antioxidants, herbs elevate the fresh flavour of any dish.
Jalapeño: adds a little punch of heat.
Lemon: brightens the flavour of the salsa.
