    Method

    • Step-by-step method for Mahi-mahi with Pineapple
    • Rinse and pat dry 2 skinless mahi-mahi fillets (about 6oz each)
    • Season fillets evenly with salt, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic, and 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning on both sides
    • Set mahi-mahi aside at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow seasoning to absorb
    • While fish rests, finely dice 1 cup pineapple and 2 1/2 tablespoons red onion, and finely chop 2 1/2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
    • In a bowl, combine diced pineapple, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, salt to taste, and 1-2 dashes of cayenne pepper
    • Gently mix salsa ingredients and set aside so flavors can blend
    • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a non-stick or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until shimmering
    • Carefully place mahi-mahi fillets into the pan and cook without moving for 2-3 minutes
    • Flip fillets and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until mahi-mahi is opaque and flakes easily with a fork
    • Remove fillets from the pan and let rest for 2 minutes
    • Spoon pineapple salsa evenly over each fillet or serve on the side
    • Plate with lime wedges for squeezing at the table
    • Serve immediately while fish is hot and salsa is fresh
