Ingredients
- 4 pieces Halibut fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Mango, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 unit Jalapeño, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Directions
Step 1
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the halibut fillets in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving, until golden brown.
Step 3
Flip the fillets gently using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
Step 4
While the fish is cooking, prepare the mango and mint salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, mint, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, and honey. Mix well to combine.
Step 5
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice or a pinch of salt for balance.
Step 6
To serve, place a halibut fillet on each plate and top with a generous spoonful of the mango and mint salsa. Enjoy immediately.
