Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
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.
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.
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.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice or a pinch of salt for balance.
To serve, place a halibut fillet on each plate and top with a generous spoonful of the mango and mint salsa. Enjoy immediately.
