Spicy Snapper with Mango Avocado Salsa an Easy Supper

September 1, 2020 Filed Under: Meatless Main Courses

This spicy Snapper with homemade Mango Avocado Salsa makes for a flavorful, healthy and easy dinner.

The ingredient list may look long, but this healthy meal is so fast and easy to prepare. The creamy avocado and sweet mango in the salsa offer a nice balance to the spicy snapper.

If you want to use a store bought Cajun seasoning mix, feel free. But, keep this recipe on hand for when you run out because it is so easy to make your own and keep it on hand for kicking up any dish.

As with any fish, if you want to eat responsibly be sure to check Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch to make sure your fish is from a sustainable source.
