• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1, diced ripe mango
• 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp ground allspice, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Step 2: Place 4 mahi mahi fillets in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Step 3: While fish marinates, combine 1 diced ripe mango, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, and 1 minced jalapeño in a bowl. Stir and set aside for flavors to meld.
