How to Make Mahi Mahi With Pineapple Salsa

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed sauté pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Season both sides of the mahi mahi fillets (about 6 ounces per fillet) generously with blackening seasoning.
  3. Sear the mahi mahi for 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  4. Remove the fillets from the pan and set aside to rest.
  5. While the mahi mahi rests, prepare the salsa: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup diced fresh pineapple, 1/4 cup finely diced jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat), 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  6. Gently toss the salsa ingredients together.
  7. Spoon the pineapple salsa generously over the cooked mahi mahi fillets.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
