Cooking Directions
- Stir 1/4 cup picante sauce and 1 tablespoon oil in a shallow, nonmetallic dish or gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Add the fish and turn to coat. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Stir the jicama, mango, cilantro, orange juice, lime juice and 2 cups picante sauce in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion. Cook and stir until lightly browned, stirring often. Stir in the remaining picante sauce and the broth and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Remove the fish from the dish and discard the marinade.
- Heat the remaining oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook for 4 minutes (to prevent sticking, make sure the skillet is hot before adding the fish). Turn the fish over. Pour the onion mixture over the fish and cook for 4 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve the fish and onion mixture with the mango salsa.
