Ingredients
For the Mahi-Mahi:

  • 2 fresh Mahi-Mahi fillets (or any firm white fish like snapper or halibut)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Fish: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub over the Mahi-Mahi fillets and let sit for 10-15 minutes.

  2. Prepare the Salsa: While the fish marinates, combine mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and honey in a bowl. Gently toss to mix and set aside.

  3. Grill the Fish: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Cook Mahi-Mahi for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
