Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Mahi-Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 cup (diced) Fresh pineapple
- 0.5 cup (diced) Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (diced) Red onion
- 1 small (seeded and minced) Jalapeño (optional)
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground cumin. Pat the mahi-mahi fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with the spice mixture.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the mahi-mahi fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown on the outside and opaque in the center. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
To make the pineapple salsa, combine the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, fresh lime juice, and honey in a medium bowl. Mix well and taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
To serve, place each mahi-mahi fillet on a plate and generously spoon the pineapple salsa on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
