Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Season the Chilean sea bass fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
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.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
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.
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.
Stir in freshly chopped cilantro and remove the sauce from the heat.
Plate the fish fillets and generously spoon the honey mango sauce over the top.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal!
