Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 1 large Mango (ripe)
- 1 small Red bell pepper
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a grill to medium-high heat.
Peel and dice the mango into small cubes and place them in a small mixing bowl.
Finely dice the red bell pepper and jalapeño, removing the seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer less heat. Add them to the bowl with the mango.
Stir in lime juice, honey, soy sauce, chopped cilantro, and minced garlic. Mix well to combine and set aside.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet (or grill pan) over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the halibut fillets, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
If using an oven, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If grilling, continue to cook on the grill for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Remove the halibut from the heat and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Top each fillet with a generous spoonful of the spicy mango salsa and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
Serve warm with a side of rice, quinoa, or fresh greens for a complete meal.
