Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (about 6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cups Fresh mango, diced
- 1 Habanero pepper, finely minced
- 0.5 cups Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (for salsa)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate for 15 minutes while preparing the salsa.
To make the mango habanero salsa, combine the diced mango, minced habanero pepper, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the Mahi Mahi fillets from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the grilled Mahi Mahi from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Plate each fillet and top with a generous scoop of the mango habanero salsa.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
