This is one of my favorite dishes. The girls and I went to the beach one weekend and we came up with these different recipes and they complement each other very well. The crispy flaky fish, the sweet mango salsa and the smoky and spicy flavors from the chipotle peppers work so well together. My husband Andy loves this meal and so do all of the girls. ENJOY!!!
