Categories     Fish     Onion     Lime     Cantaloupe     Avocado     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Cilantro     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small avocado, diced
1 cup 1/3-inch cubes cantaloupe
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3/4 teaspoon grated lime peel
4 6-ounce mahi-mahi fillets (each about 1 inch thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning

Steps:

  • Oil grill rack. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Toss first 6 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Season salsa generously with salt and pepper.
  • Brush fish with 1 tablespoon oil. Spread seasoning in dish. Dredge fish in seasoning, turning to coat. Grill fish until just opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mahi-mahi fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly briny smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Marinate the mahi-mahi fillets before grilling: This will help to infuse them with flavor and keep them moist during cooking. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices, or you can try a more complex marinade, such as the one in this recipe.
  • Grill the mahi-mahi fillets over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the fillets and keep them from sticking to the grill. Cook the fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and flaky.
  • Make the summer squash salsa while the mahi-mahi is grilling: This will allow the flavors in the salsa to meld together. You can also make the salsa ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve it.
  • Serve the grilled mahi-mahi with the summer squash salsa: This is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. You can also serve the mahi-mahi with other sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled pineapple, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled mahi-mahi with summer squash salsa is a light and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The mahi-mahi is grilled to perfection and the summer squash salsa is a refreshing and tangy accompaniment. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
