Recipe Notes
RECIPE TIPS:
Use quality Mahi Mahi fillets from Sealand Quality Foods.
Remove from the packaging and defrost the fish in the fridge overnight.
It’s best to pat the fish dry before seasoning so you can get a nice crust.
You don’t need to heavily season the fish, because it has a very mild and sweet flavor.
The fillet is very sturdy, you’ll probably want to grill it if the weather is warm and it will be so delicious!
When drizzling the salsa over the fish, make sure to do so right when the fish if still hot and out of the oven. That’s when the fish will soak up all the flavors.
Serve the fish right away with your favorite sides!
Double this recipe for a 4 serving size, and you can even triple, quadruple or make it for bigger crowds easily.
