tilapia with tomatoes & green beans / spring salad with macerated mangoes

Contents of your meal kit:

tilapia
ginger lime vinaigrette
mango
green beans
cherry tomatoes
spring salad mix

Cookware needed: salad bowl, baking sheet

Finishing steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 450.
  2. Pour vinaigrette base into the bottom of your salad bowl. Slice mango thinly and add to the bowl with vinaigrette base. Set aside to macerate (see note).
  3. Trim green bean stems. Slice the tomatoes in half, and if desired cut green beans into smaller pieces as well. Place tomatoes and green beans on a foil-lined baking sheet, toss with olive oil and season with salt & pepper.
  4. Season both sides of fish with salt & pepper, rub with oil and arrange on the same baking sheet with green beans & tomatoes. Place in the oven, and roast 7-10 minutes or until fish is cooked through, and green beans are tender. If fish appears to be done before vegetables (or visa versa), remove from the baking sheet and keep warm while the rest of the meal continues cooking.
  5. When the fish and vegetables are done, add spring salad mix to the bowl with the macerated mango, drizzle with a small amount of olive oil and toss gently to coat. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
  6. Serve fish on top of green beans and tomatoes with the mango salad on the side.

Notes: Macerate is a fancy cooking word that refers to the process of softening food with a liquid. In this preparation, it improves the flavor of the mango. It’s a great method to use if you have fruit that is slightly under-ripe.
