- Peel and thinly slice the plantain. Lay flat on a baking sheet, drizzle with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Bake 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- While plantain is baking, make the jerk marinade: Add Scotch bonnet, coconut sugar, coconut oil, ¾ cup chopped scallions, ¼ cup ginger, juice of 2 limes, soy sauce, garlic, cinnamon, thyme, allspice, whole black peppercorns, nutmeg and 1 tablespoon salt to a blender; blend on high until smooth.
- Heat a grill over medium-high heat. Place mango slices onto the grill and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until charred with grill marks. Set aside.
- Cover Tilapia fillets with jerk marinade and transfer to the grill, cooking on each side for 1-2 minutes.
