We’re spending a lovely week in Phoenix visiting family, eating fine foods and sipping savory wines. This is a quick and easy dish we threw together in a few minutes and it combines the best of southwestern flavors with a few new fusion twists to kick it some kick. We used tilapia filets, but you can use just about any fish you love.

I was hankering for some Caribbean inspired eats last weekend, so I decided to whip this up. This is another of my completely random and 100% unique creations, and I must say it turned out fabulously! Marinating the fish for 24 hours allowed the simple and refreshing flavours to thoroughly burrow themselves into the fish. Add to that some lovely Mango salsa and you’ve got just the thing for a healthy meal.

Tilapia is by far our household’s favorite fish. It’s cheap, meaty and deliciously nutty! I decided to add a carribean twist to our pan seared tilapia, and while I was making it, thought it could use something sweet and refreshing to balance out the heat. I spotted a peach in the corner of my eye and instantly I knew that was the ticket!
