How to Make Grilled Mahi Mahi With Pineapple Salsa

  1. In a 12-inch heavy skillet, sauté 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 shallots (minced) in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper (or jalapeño for extra heat), 1 cup diced fresh pineapple, and sauté over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, until pineapple softens slightly.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 1 tablespoon sambal oelek (or to taste) and sauté for 30 seconds.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  5. Brush 2 (6-ounce) mahi mahi fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill mahi mahi, skin-side down, for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy.
  7. Flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Serve the grilled mahi mahi immediately topped with the pineapple salsa.
