Crispy Baked Fish with Peach-Mango Salsa

I'm a sucker for fresh produce, especially when it's on sale or at the farmer's market. And I'm nesting.

Combine those two and that's meant we have a ton of fruit and veggies at our house at the same time that I'm trying to clean out the cupboards and freezer of anything that's still edible.

Thus our dinner the other night of crispy baked fish sandwiches with peach-mango salsa.

Mangoes were on sale at Kroger for 50 cents a piece. And red, orange and yellow peppers were 10 for $10. Peaches have arrived at the State Farmer's Market. And I always get way too many tomatoes when I'm there too.

We have too many boxes of pancake/Bisquick mix in the cupboard (at least by my estimatation). And we have a big bag of frozen Mahi Mahi from Costco in the freezer that needs to go before we forget about it and some leftover hamburger buns.

I've made oven-fried chicken tenders with Bisquick before so I figured there was a way to do it with fish too. I quickly found a recipe on www.bettycrocker.com. That recipe paired the fish with a tropical salsa, but I had peaches, not pineapples. So I did a quick Google search and found a recipe for peach-mango salsa at tasteofhome.com.

I made the salsa and mixed up the Bisquick, cornmeal and other dry ingredients for the fish in the morning. So it was really easy to get this on the table after a day at work. And it was a yummy. The hamburger buns were superfluous, but I felt like I'd accomplished something when we finished them too.

Crispy Baked Fish from www.bettycrocker.com

3 tablespoons butter or margarine
2/3 cup Bisquick mix
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon chili powder (I actually skipped this because we're all out)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1b orange roughy or other white fish fillets (I used mahi mahi)
1 egg, beaten

Heat over to 425. In a 13x9-inch pan, melt butter in oven. Mix the Bisquick, cornmeal, chili powder and salt. Dip the fish in the egg, then coat with Bisquick. Place in pan. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes. Turn fish, bake about 15 minutes longer or until fish is done.

Peach-Mango Salsa from tasteofhome.com

3/4 cup chopped peeled peaches
1/2 cup red onion
1/2 cup chopped sweet yellow pepper
1/2 cup chopped mango
3 minced garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon fresh cilantro

Combine all the ingredients. Good with chips too.
