Mahi Mahi with Avocado Salsa
Honesty moment, I did not like Mahi Mahi until recently, but man, I have fallen hard for it, especially with a little taco seasoning on it. This is one of those dinner that you have no time or energy to cook but the people are asking for dinner. I literally got this on the table, with a side of Southwestern Slaw, in 20 minutes. Which is my kind of dinner, especially one that I don’t have to slave over a hot stove or oven, heating up my house, more than mother nature does already. This salsa is like a simple guac and you will love it on all the things, tacos, eggs, fish, chicken, whatever. This dinner is totally family approved and is also Whole30, low carb. Keto, paleo, gluten free, dairy free, and the salsa is vegan so you can spoon it over some tofu or jackfruit!
This is one of those dishes that you can serve to guests, if we can ever see people again, that they will be happy and impressed. Grill your fish, sear it like I do, use a different fish, or even swap for chicken if you don’t like fish like one of my girlfriends! You could even just make this salsa for your chips, you will love both parts of this recipe, and want to make it again and again!
Mahi Mahi with Avocado Salsa
3 small avocados, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
juice of 1 lime
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Taco Seasoning
Mahi Mahi filets (as many as you need)
salt and taco seasoning
- In a bowl, carefully combine the salsa: avocados, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Cover completely until you are ready to serve.
- Pat dry your fish and season with a sprinkle of salt and taco seasoning. Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot, spray with avocado oil and place filets in the pan. Let sear for a few minutes, without touching, and then flip and sear the other side.
- Once the fish is cooked, plate with a few spoonfuls of salsa over the top.
This is like a super simple guacamole, it is so fresh and you can whip it up in a couple minutes.
Put it in a bowl and mix, that is it. When you store it, place the cling film right on top of the avocados, like squish it so air doesn’t get to it to brown. The lime juice helps but air is not your friend with avocados, even if it browns, it is still good, just not as cute.
Pat dry your fish, sprinkle with salt and taco seasoning and sear, it is as simple as that!
