🐟 Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
1️⃣ Prepare the Grill and Fish
Preheat your grill to medium-high and lightly coat the grates with cooking spray.
Place the mahi-mahi fillets in a shallow dish and drizzle with avocado oil, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes while you prep the salsa.
2️⃣ Make the Mango-Avocado Salsa
In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a touch of Sriracha for heat 🌶️. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then toss gently to keep the avocado pieces intact.
3️⃣ Grill and Serve
Grill the mahi-mahi for about 5 minutes per side or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer to plates and top generously with your fresh salsa.
Serve with lime wedges for that final zesty squeeze! 🍈
