Grilled Pompano (Inihaw na Talakitok) with Green Mango Salsa

Tired of cooking a simple grilled fish? Its really not very appetizing even if you grill a talakitok (pampano) , one of our favorite and prized fish if you will just put salt and pepper on it and grill it without any special dipping sauce or side dishes like a salad or salsa. This recipe I have here is a grilled pampano fillet topped with Filipino salad and green mango salsa. The Filipino salad is made from cucumber, red bell pepper and onions mixed with vinegar, sugar and pepper. While the green mango salad is made from green mango, tomatoes, onions and green onions.

To cook the grilled pompano; Dip fish fillet in oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill on skin side first to make cross marks.Turn and grill until done. Serve with steamed rice, Filipino salad and green mango salsa on top of the fish.
