This cod with mango salsa is an easy family dinner that uses frozen fish, and can be paired with the sides of your choice. While lots of fish dishes have mango salsa on the side, this recipe takes it up a notch by having a fruity crust for the fish too.

Have a peek at my recipes for frozen cod round-up for lots of easy weeknight dinner ideas!

This cod with mango salsa feels fresh and light, with the best sweetness from the fruit. It's perfect paired with rice and salads for a weekend meal! If you like different salsas to try with this recipe, do check out my corn mango salsa, corn and peach salsa and my bell pepper salsa too!

⭐ Why this recipe is so good

  • Fruity and flavourful. We 'double' mango in this recipe, with a mango crust as well as some in a side salad for lots of tropical flavour.
  • Uses frozen fish. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, you only have to head to the freezer and not the store!
  • Easy to make. A very simple recipe, with just a few steps.

🥭 Ingredients

This recipe mostly uses ingredients that are in my freezer or pantry staples, so hopefully it's only the fruit and veggies you need to run to the store for!

  • Frozen cod fillets - a staple in my freezer and perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.
  • Mango - if you have fresh then perfect, but in the winter that's tricky to find (or they tend to be really hard and refuse to ripen). I use frozen, and thaw for a little while before use.
  • Breadcrumbs - you can buy breadcrumbs ready done, but personally I just whizz up some in a Nutribullet - takes seconds to do.
  • Olive oil - to bind the crust ingredients together. Personally I use Bertolli extra virgin olive oil.
  • Apple cider vinegar - this is optional, but adds a touch of acidity to the flavour. I use the Aspall apple cider vinegar, but you can swap out for white distilled vinegar if you want a lower histamine option.
  • Pink Himalayan salt - my favourite salt to use, and has such a nice flavour. I like Silk Route pink Himalayan salt.

🔪 Step by step instructions

Just a few simple steps to make this fun baked cod with mango salsa for your weeknight (or weekend!) dinner:

white dish with frozen cod with a mango crust in it.

STEP 1

Bake the frozen fish for around 15 minutes. Meanwhile combine all the ingredients for the mango crust in a blender, and blend to a thick paste.

STEP 2

Pat the mango crust onto the fish and return to the oven to bake through. Ensure the fish is cooked throughout, with white flaky fish.

Make the simple salsa and then plate up and enjoy!

💭 Recipe tips and notes

  • Be sure to bake the fish for the 15 minutes before adding the crust.
  • Use fresh ripe mango for the best sweetness.
  • Pat the crust on, but don't worry about it being perfect!
  • I suggest pairing this with rice, but you can of course swap out for couscous, potatoes or other side.

📋 Frequently asked questions

Can I use other fish instead of cod?

Other white fish such as pollock would be good!

Is this cod with mango salsa gluten free?

We use breadcrumbs in the mango crust, so you would want to be sure to use gluten free bread if you have this dietary requirement.

What is the best way to serve this mango cod?

I like to serve this baked cod with rice and salads, but you could also have hot vegetables sides or couscous!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cod fillets frozen
  • ½ cup mango
  • ¼ slice bread or equivalent breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar optional
  • small pinch salt
  • small pinch black pepper optional
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional

For the salsa

  • ½ cup mango
  • ¼ bell pepper diced into small pieces
  • fresh herb of choice torn into small pieces

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F.
  • Place your cod fillets in an ovenproof dish and loosely cover with foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • While the fish is cooking blend the bread to form breadcrumbs. Add in the olive oil, half the mango, apple cider vinegar and a small pinch of salt and pepper (if using). Blend again for a few seconds to combine.
  • Once the fish has had 15 minutes, remove from the oven and discard the foil. Pat on the mango breadcrumb mixture and bake, uncovered, for a further 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
  • Make the simple salsa by combining the mango, peppers and herbs.
  • Plate up the fish, and serve with rice and other vegetables or salad of choice. Sprinkle on some sesame seeds, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Be sure to bake the fish for the 15 minutes before adding the crust.
  • Use ripe mango so that it has a lovely sweetness.
  • Pat the crust on, but don't worry about it being perfect!
  • I suggest pairing this with rice, but you can of course swap out for couscous, potatoes or other side.

Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
