This recipe combines the delicate flavor of mahi mahi with a vibrant and zesty avocado salsa, creating a dish that's both healthy and delicious.
Dice the avocado and tomato into small chunks and finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
Use a sharp knife to avoid bruising the avocado and tomato.
Combine the diced avocado, tomato, onion, and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and season with salt. Mix gently.
Mix gently to keep the avocado pieces intact.
Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Drying the fish helps achieve a better sear.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mahi mahi fillets and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve the mahi mahi fillets on plates and top with the prepared salsa. Enjoy immediately.
Garnish with extra cilantro leaves for a fresh touch.
