This Grilled Mahi Mahi with Avocado Salsa is a quick and flavorful seafood dish perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner. Tender mahi mahi fillets are seasoned with a simple spice blend, grilled to perfection, and served topped with a fresh and vibrant mango avocado salsa that adds a burst of tropical sweetness and zest.

Ingredients

Fish and Seasoning

  • 4 6-ounce mahi mahi fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Mango Avocado Salsa

  • 1 mango, chopped
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • ½ small red onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill: Preheat a gas grill or grill pan to medium heat. Make sure the grill surface is clean and hot to prevent sticking. Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
  2. Season the fish: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the mahi mahi fillets to the bowl and use your hands to evenly coat each fillet with the seasoning mixture for full flavor coverage.
  3. Grill the mahi mahi: Place the seasoned fillets on the hot grill. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until the fish develops a golden brown crust and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid moving the fish too much to get nice grill marks.
  4. Rest the fish: Transfer the grilled mahi mahi to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute inside the fish, keeping it moist and tender.
  5. Prepare the salsa: In a small bowl, combine chopped mango, avocado, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix gently to combine without mashing the avocado.
  6. Serve: Spoon the vibrant mango avocado salsa over the grilled mahi mahi fillets and serve immediately for a delicious and refreshing meal.

Notes

  • Make sure the mahi mahi fillets are of even thickness for consistent grilling.
  • If you don't have a grill, a grill pan or stovetop skillet works well.
  • Customize the salsa by adding jalapeño for some heat or substituting lime with lemon juice.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a balanced meal.
