Finely dice the red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño (if using). Add them to the bowl with the mango.

Chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl, followed by the lime juice and honey. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 6

Plate the cooked tilapia fillets and top each one with a generous spoonful of mango salsa.
