Cooking fish always gets the reputation that it's hard—when it's anything but. The key is to buy high-quality fish and keep the ingredients to a minimum. For this dish, the smokiness of the paprika lends a kick to the cod's gentle flavor. Everything comes together with the sweet coolness of the salsa. 

This recipe yields 5-6 servings

Directions

1. For the salsa, toss all ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside until serving.

2. In a bowl, season the cod on both sides  with paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Add cod to an oiled preheated pan on medium-high heat. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and tender.  Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top.

3. Serve the cod over the fresh mango salsa.
