Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp olive oil until well combined to create the citrus glaze.
2. Step 2: Place 4 mahi mahi fillets in a shallow dish and pour the citrus glaze over them, turning to coat evenly. Marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
3. Step 3: Meanwhile, combine 1 cup diced pineapple chunks, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 minced jalapeño, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro in a bowl. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and set aside for salsa.
4. Step 4: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush the grill grates with 1 tbsp olive oil.
5. Step 5: Remove mahi mahi from marinade and place on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, brushing occasionally with remaining marinade.
6. Step 6: Serve each mahi mahi fillet topped generously with the pineapple salsa for a bright, refreshing finish.
