SIMPLY SEARED OPAH
I couldn't find a simple recipe for opah (also known as moonfish) so I just seared it and it was so good. The flavor of the fish can stand on its own.

AVOCADO MANGO SALSA
Yowzers! Sweet and hot salsa with tangy mangoes and habaneros. Great with pork, chicken or fish or just with chips. You can omit the habaneros and add red bell peppers for a non-spicy version, but then again, why would you want to? Remember, ALWAYS wear gloves when working with habaneros!

GRILLED MANGO SALSA
A mango's rich flavor is deepened through grilling in this salsa full of contrasts. It also works if you do not want to grill the mango. I love mango salsa whether or not the mango is grilled, so if you don't feel like grilling, you can still get a great salsa with these ingredients. Grilling, whether on an outdoor grill, a griddle or a grill pan, deepens the flavor of an already-rich-tasting fruit. I love the contrasts in this salsa: the crisp jicama with the soft, juicy mango; the sweet fruit; the spicy chile; and the grassy cilantro. Serve with fish or chicken.

Steps:
- Prepare a medium-hot grill. Cut mango down flat sides of the seed to get 2 large flat pieces. Brush exposed surface lightly with oil and place on grill. Grill for about 6 minutes, until light grill marks appear. Remove from heat. With the tip of a paring nife, cut thin slices down to the skin but not through it, then cut a herringbone pattern across the slices. Push on the skin side so the cut mango pops out, then cut away the dice from the skin. Cut dice smaller if they are larger than 1/2 inch. Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients to bowl and toss together. Allow to sit for 15 to 30 minutes so flavors will ripen.

MANGO-AVOCADO SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE
Inspired by Vietnamese green papaya salad, this salad stars ripe, juicy mangoes and dresses them in the classic punchy lime-fish sauce dressing. Tender torn greens, crunchy sweet snap peas and creamy avocado round out this dish with both crispy and creamy bites. The cooling salad is the perfect side to accompany grilled or roasted fish, chicken, or steak. If mangoes are unavailable, tomatoes or sweet stone fruit like peaches are tasty options.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine oil, lime juice, shallot, fish sauce, sugar and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Whisk until well blended, then stir in half of the cilantro. Reserve half of the dressing in a small bowl for serving.
- Arrange lettuce in an even layer on a serving platter. Add mangoes, snap peas and avocados to the large bowl and gently toss to evenly coat in the dressing.

Tips:
- Selecting the Right Fish: Choose fresh opah fillets with a firm texture and vibrant color. Look for fillets that are free of any blemishes or discoloration.
- Preparing the Marinade: To enhance the flavor of the opah, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes. This will help infuse the fish with delicious flavors and keep it moist during grilling.
- Grilling the Opah: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the opah fillets with oil and season them with salt and pepper. Grill the fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and flaky.
- Making the Mango and Avocado Salsa: Combine diced mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Season the salsa with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preparing the Citrus Vinaigrette: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper in a bowl. This flavorful vinaigrette will add a tangy and refreshing touch to the grilled opah.
