Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 mahi-mahi fillets (6 oz each) with paper towels, then season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add the fillets and sear for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 145°F.
Step 3: While the fish cooks, combine 1 diced ripe mango, 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1 minced small jalapeño pepper in a bowl. Stir gently to blend flavors.
Step 4: Remove the mahi-mahi from heat, plate, and spoon the mango salsa over each fillet. Serve immediately for a fresh and colorful meal.
