    Ingredients

    • For the pineapple salsa
    • 1 cup of finely diced pineapple
    • 2 1/2 tablespoons of finely diced red onion
    • 2 1/2 tablespoons of finely chopped cilantro leaves
    • 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice
    • Salt to taste
    • 1-2 dashes of cayenne pepper
    • For the Mahi-Mahi
    • 2 skinless mahi-mahi fillets, about 6oz each
    • 2 tablespoons
    • Salt and black pepper to taste
    • 1/2 teaspoon of granulated garlic
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning
    • 1 lime, cut into wedges, for serving

    Method

    • Start by chopping the pineapple into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion and the cilantro. Mix all of the ingredients. Salt to taste. Then let it chill for 15 to 20 minutes to blend.

    • Liberally season both sides of the mahi-mahi with salt, pepper, granulated garlic and Cajun seasoning.

    • Use a cast iron skillet to fry the mahi-mahi at medium-to-high heat (this will make it a nice crispy crust with a flaky inner shell). Cover with a lid to let steam for a couple of minutes.

    • Remove from the heat and place the mahi-mahi on top of the pineapple mixture.

    • Serving Suggestions: Serve with lime slices garnished with parsley. This goes well with rice of your choosing and a side salad of your choosing.
