Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Ripe mango
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 0.5 small Jalapeño
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (for salsa)
Instructions
In a bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground allspice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
While the fish marinates, prepare the mango salsa: dice the mango, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro. Finely dice the jalapeño, removing the seeds for less heat if desired.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Stir in honey and lime juice. Set the salsa aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the Mahi Mahi fillets from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels.
Sear the fillets in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the seared Mahi Mahi fillets warm, topped with the prepared mango salsa.
Pair the dish with rice, plantains, or a side salad for a complete Caribbean-inspired meal.
Enjoy your homemade Caribbean Mahi Mahi 10 Points!
