Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh pineapple, diced
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 piece Jalapeño, minced
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned fillets to the skillet, skin-side down (if applicable). Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced jalapeño, honey, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to combine and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4
To serve, place a Mahi Mahi fillet on each plate and spoon generous amounts of pineapple salsa over the top. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
Step 5
Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical-inspired meal!
