Grilled Mahi Mahi with Avocado Salsa
Description
Grilled Mahi Mahi with Avocado Salsa combines spiced, tender fish fillets with a fresh fruit salsa. The mahi mahi is seasoned with olive oil and a mix of paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper, then grilled until golden and cooked through. The salsa, made from chopped mango, avocado, finely chopped red onion, cilantro, and lime juice, provides a bright, creamy complement that contrasts with the savory spices on the fish. This grilling technique cooks the fish evenly while preserving its natural flaky texture.
The sweet and creamy salsa adds a refreshing contrast, making the dish suitable for warm-weather meals or casual dinners. It pairs well with light sides such as steamed vegetables or rice. Resting the fish briefly after grilling lets the juices redistribute, keeping the fillets moist and flavorful.
Leftover grilled mahi mahi can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated gently in a pan until warmed through to maintain texture.
