Tomato and Mango Salsa, over Fish

I've had several questions about how I cook my fish...and how I make my salsa.

Read on....

We buy fish from the local vendors here in Tanzania...from the side of the road actually.  They will cut off the head, pull out all the insides, the bones, and fillet it for you, right there, on the spot!  You can't get much fresher than that.

I bring it home and put some butter, garlic salt, and lemon juice on the fish to start.  I put a bit of olive oil in the bottom of the frying pan.  Then, I heat up the pan and put the fish in to cook.  While it's cooking, I make the salsa.  I cut up a mango, some tomatoes, press a few cloves of garlic, chop up some onions, and mix it all together.  Then I put some balsamic vinegar on it, a bit of olive oil, and let it all sit and mesh flavors for a few moments.  I will then, depending on the size of the fish, and if it's almost done cooking, either put the salsa on the fish in the pan, OR, put the fish in a baking dish, put the salsa on top and pop it in the oven for a few minutes.  I have often also grated a bit of fresh parmesan cheese on the top to melt.  

It is ohhh, so good!
