Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 Fresh pineapple
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 0.5 Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 Jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Pat dry the Mahi Mahi fillets with a paper towel. Season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Once the skillet is hot, add the fillets. Cook for 4-6 minutes on one side, without moving them, to get a nice golden sear.
Flip the fillets carefully using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
To prepare the pineapple salsa, start by peeling and dicing the fresh pineapple into small cubes. Place in a medium mixing bowl.
Finely dice the red bell pepper and red onion and add them to the bowl with the pineapple.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Slice the jalapeño in half, remove the seeds for less heat (optional), and finely mince. Add it to the salsa mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 1 teaspoon of honey. Pour the dressing over the salsa ingredients.
Gently toss all the salsa ingredients together to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional lime juice or salt, if needed.
To assemble, plate the warm Mahi Mahi fillets and top each with a generous spoonful of fresh pineapple salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors!
