Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Chilean sea bass fillets (or any white fish like halibut or cod)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 medium Fresh ripe mango (diced)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

Season the Chilean sea bass fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned fish fillets and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced mangoes, honey, lime juice, and water to the skillet. Stir well and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the mangoes to soften.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Slowly add this mixture to the mango sauce while stirring. Allow the sauce to thicken for 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in freshly chopped cilantro and remove the sauce from the heat.

Step 7

Plate the fish fillets and generously spoon the honey mango sauce over the top.

Step 8

Serve immediately with steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal!
