GRILLED MAHI WITH PINEAPPLE WATERMELON SALSA
Bear with me here. There are a lot of steps to this meal, but they are ridiculously easy – in the end, I promise the meal is worth the effort. Invite some friends over to help with chopping. Drink a lot of wine to help this process go quickly... That’s what I did.
Ingredients
- • 7 really ripe plum tomatoes
- • 1 ripe pineapple
- • 1 ripe seedless watermelon (the little round ones)
- • 1 red onion diced
- • 3 big cloves of garlic
- • 1 big bunch of cilantro, divided
- • 1 bunch of greens – I used mixed spring greens and the textures were really nice.
- • white balsamic vinegar
- • really good extra virgin olive oil (I used O Meyer Lemon (a little pricey, but worth it)
- • juice of one lemon
- • 4 mahi mahi steaks
- • Sea salt
Instructions
Chop the tomatoes, onion, garlic and half the cilantro into a bowl, squeeze the lemon juice and splash a little olive oil and a nice pinch of sea salt. Mix, cover and set aside.
Peel and chop the watermelon and pineapple, add the rest of the cilantro, splash some white balsamic vinegar over the fruit and add a pinch of sea salt. Mix, cover and set aside.
Toss the greens with a couple of splashes of the olive oil, set aside
Heat your pan to medium high, spray with non-stick and cook your steaks. As the fish starts to turn opaque, wait till the color change travels about a third of the way up, flip the steaks and cook the other side.
Pile greens, salsa and fruit onto the plate, top with a piece of fish and serve.
