FISH
2
Rub the cooled spice mixture evenly onto the red snapper filets.
3
In a large skillet, heat avocado oil on medium high heat. Add the fish filets, flesh side down, and sear without moving until the filets form a dark crust, about 6 minutes.

Turn the filets onto their skin side and press with the back of a spatula to ensure the skin makes even contact with the pan. Continue to cook until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 3 minutes.
MANGO SALSA
5
In a bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped onion, bell pepper, chili, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Stir well to mix.
SERVING

Serve the blackened filets on individual plates, topped with a generous spoonful of the mango salsa.
