Moroccan Style Tilapia with Cumin, Mango and Cilantro

Let me just get this out there right off the bat.  I DO NOT like fish.  I just don't.  I think I have made fish maybe twice in 16 years.  That being said, I know that fish is good for you.  I feel bad that the kids aren't eating it often like they should.  And then there's the little fact that THOM LOVES IT.  That makes me feel really bad.  So, I'm trying.  My first attempt was a hit with everyone.  Carter, Mr. Picky, had 3 helpings.  Everyone, including ME, ate it all.


4 (5-ounce) tilapia fillets
Salt and ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ripe mango, diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves


Season both sides of tilapia fillets with salt and black pepper. Rub cumin and coriander all over both sides of fillets. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tilapia fillets and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side, until fish is fork-tender. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mango and cilantro. Top tilapia with mango right before serving.  Serve with cous cous.
