In a quick 30 minutes this complete dinner comes together with tender flaky fish fillets, tart and crunchy mango salsa and a rich delicious coconut rice, perfect for absorbing the tangy juices from the salsa! The vibrant colors of the salsa are a stark and beautiful contrast to the bright whiteness of the fish and rice. Quickly steam some broccoli or wilt some spinach for added green presence. This salsa is also great over chicken breast and with other fish such as halibut, cod or tilapia, which all cook fairly quickly. The chipotle adds the heat to the salsa but can easily be left out if you are serving this to sensitive eaters.
