Recipe View Serve: Transfer the grilled tilapia to serving plates. Generously top each fillet with the prepared mango salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors.

For a spicier salsa, leave some seeds in the jalapeño pepper.
If you don't have fresh parsley or cilantro, you can substitute with dried herbs, but use half the amount.
The mango salsa can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve with a side of coconut rice or a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
