Method of Preparation:

-Start by making the mango salsa. In a bowl, add mango, red onion, red pepper, fresh cilantro, lime juice, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. Carefully mix it all together. If you like it a little hot, toss in some chopped jalapeno pepper.

-You can also serve the mango salsa over chicken or simply with chips.

-Now, season the fish with salt and pepper and grill.

-Then, chef Brendan likes to prepare a side of vegetables. In a hot pan with a little oil, sauté blanched fingerling potatoes and add lemon zest, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Toss it all together.

-In a separate pan, melt some butter and sear blanched asparagus. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

To plate:

Serve the potatoes and the asparagus. Then, lean to fish on the side and top it with the mango salsa.
