Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and brush it with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 mahi mahi fillets (5 oz each), then brush both sides with 2 tbsp olive oil and season evenly with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the fillets on the prepared sheet pan, leaving space between each. Roast in the oven for 12-14 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the edges are lightly golden.
  4. Step 4: While the fish roasts, combine 1 cup diced ripe mango, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp lime juice, and 1 tsp minced jalapeño in a bowl. Stir gently to blend flavors.
  5. Step 5: Remove the mahi mahi from the oven and serve immediately topped with the fresh mango salsa.

How do I store leftover Crisp Sheet Pan Mahi Mahi with Mango Salsa?

Transfer to an airtight jar and refrigerate for up to 5–7 days. Most sauces freeze well for up to 2 months — portion into small containers or freezer bags so you can thaw only what you need. Stir before serving; cream- or yogurt-based sauces may separate on standing.

Can I substitute ingredients in Crisp Sheet Pan Mahi Mahi with Mango Salsa?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Crisp Sheet Pan Mahi Mahi with Mango Salsa for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
