Grilled Mahi Mahi with Mango Lime Salsa

Well, for those of you fellow East Coasters, you know it's hot hot hot. And when the temperature goes up, the last thing I want to eat as anything heavy. Luckily, my local Wegman's happens to feature some of the most beautiful seafood in town. A few days ago, I was happy to discover the gorgeous store cut mahi mahi and improvised this yummy little dish with a very ripe mango I picked up. Super healthy, very light, and perfect for summer!


1 lb of mahi mahi fillet

about 1 tbsp of olive oil

salt and pepper to taste


Salsa:

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

juice of 1/2 lime

about 1 tsp lime zest

1/2 red onion, diced

pinch of red pepper flakes

pinch of salt


Special equipment: Grill or grill pan


Preheat your grill pan until almost smoking.


Season fish liberally with salt and pepper and brush on both sides with olive oil.

Place on grill skin side up and cook undisturbed for about 7 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes or until completely opaque.


While fish is cooking, mix together salsa ingredients and set aside.


Transfer cooked mahi mahi to individual plates and top with a dollop of salsa. Serve immediately.
