How To Make Easy Cajun Snapper with Mango Avocado Salsa
#1. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the spicy Cajun seasoning. Stir to combine and set aside.
#2. Combine the mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, garlic, and fresh cilantro in a large bowl. Add fresh lime juice and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Stir to combine and set aside.
#3. Sprinkle the Spicy Cajun Seasoning onto both sides of the tender fish fillets. Rub it gently to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed. Do this from the top of the fish and the snapper fillets’ sides.
#4. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the seasoned fillets into the hot skillet. Cook them until they have a nice blackened crust and flake easily with a fork. Do this approximately 3-5 minutes per side. Cook time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
