Baked Haddock with Avocado Orange Salsa Recipe

Sometimes the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry as Robert Burns noted in “To a Mouse”. This was the case when I attempted to prepare this Baked Haddock with Avocado Mango Salsa recipe. I know that avocados and mangoes take several days to ripen so I went to the grocery store on Monday and purchased those fruits (yes, avocados are in fact fruits!) I figured they would be ripe within 3-4 days so I bought fresh haddock filets on Wednesday with the goal of preparing this recipe on Thursday. On Thursday, I start doing the prep work for the recipe, which involves chopping the avocados and mangoes. Once I peeled the mango and started chopping it, I knew it wasn’t ripe. I tried a small piece and that confirmed that it was far from being ready to eat. With fresh fish in the fridge and chopped avocado, I wondered how I could modify this recipe so that I could use the ingredients I had bought. I took a look in my fridge’s crisper and noticed a large navel orange. I have never made salsa with oranges before, but a quick check on the internet revealed that many people have and that they have specifically made Avocado Orange Salsa. To say that I was relieved was an understatement. So, instead of the Baked Haddock with Avocado Mango Salsa that I originally planned to make, here is my Baked Haddock with Avocado Orange Salsa recipe:
