Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 mahi mahi fillets
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of sea salt, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 1 green apple, cored and diced (I used granny smith)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado or grape-seed oil (to sear fish)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 cup strawberries, diced
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped, fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Combine apple, tomatoes and strawberries in a bowl. Season to taste (approx. 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Toss to combine. Add lemon juice, olive oil and basil and mix again. Serve immediately after fish is cooked (salsa does not keep well)
  2. Use a paper towel to pat both sides of the fish dry and season with remaining sea salt and pepper.
  3. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place fish in pan (don’t overcrowd the pan – you may need to do it in 2 batches). Cook for 3-4 minutes before flipping. Cook for another 3-4 minutes. The mahi mahi is finished when it flakes easily and center is opaque.
  4. Transfer mahi mahi to plate and top with strawberry, green apple salsa.
