Ingredients
4 mahi mahi fillets (4–6 oz each)
1 medium ripe mango
1 red bell pepper
diced red onion (1/2 cup)
jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
fresh cilantro, chopped (1/2 cup)
juice of 2 limes
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Pat fillets dry with paper towels; season both sides with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add fillets and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet.
In a bowl, combine mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, and lime juice. Mix gently to avoid mashing mango.
Spoon mango salsa over seared fish and serve immediately.
Notes
Fish can be marinated ahead (up to 2 hours); salsa can be prepped 1 hour in advance.
For extra crunch, add slivered almonds to the salsa.
Pairs well with saffron rice or grilled tropical fruit salad.
