    Excellent - We couldn't find mango peach salsa, so I added 1 T of peach preserves to our mango salsa. Great presentation tip - sprinkle some dried cilantro on the tomato and avocado salad. - 2/2/08

    We loved this recipe! But we broiled the fish instead of frying it in a pan, squeezed the lime & taco seasonings on the fish, broiled, then added on the salsa. Yum! - 2/23/11

    Awesome dish! I've decided to skip the cherry tomatos...they look pretty, but aren't integral to the entree. - 7/8/10

    Can't wait to try this next week ... thank you (no doubt it will be a keeper ... I love all the ingredients and that's always the test). Thank you, I'll be back to give it a rating before I do the dishes! Sounds great - 3/14/10

    Yummy! I made this last night and used some Tony Sacheries seafood spice over the fish. I also used pineapple pico de gallo since I didn't have mango peach salsa on hand. I cooked the tomatoes in the oven for a few minutes and the entire dish was delicious! Thanks for posting - 12/15/09
