Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 cups Cooked black beans
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup, finely diced Red onion
- 1 small, seeded and minced Fresh jalapeño
- 1 large, diced Avocado
- 0.5 cup (fresh or thawed frozen) Corn kernels
Instructions
Begin by preparing the salsa. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, diced avocado, corn kernels, lime juice, and half of the chopped cilantro. Stir gently to combine. Set aside to let flavors meld.
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and paprika.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the Mahi Mahi fillets. Cook 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, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the cooked black beans to the skillet and stir to combine with the garlic. Cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the remaining chopped cilantro and adjust seasoning with salt, if needed.
To serve, spoon a portion of black beans onto each plate. Top with a Mahi Mahi fillet, and generously spoon the fresh salsa on top or alongside. Serve immediately and enjoy!
