Blackened Mahi Mahi with Pineapple Salsa
If you’ve been keeping up with our #LiveFitSummer you’ve probably already seen this amazing Pineapple Mango Salsa recipe. It is the PERFECT summer salsa. It’s got just the right amount of sweet and spicy, it’s incredibly light and satisfying, and can be served with just about anything.
I mentioned, my favorite way to serve it is over Blackened Mahi Mahi. Nothing says summertime to me quite like a spicy piece of fresh seafood with a sweet tropical fruit salsa. It’s the sort of meal I dream about all winter, when it’s 10 degrees here in NYC.
To blacken the mahi, I use my cajun seasoning. It’s literally one of my go-to seasonings for anything! It’s great to keep in an old cleaned out spice jar so that it’s ready to go anytime.
For the rest of this dish, I love to serve it over a cilantro lime rice or brown rice to have a well rounded healthy meal. But feel free to forgo the rice and just serve as is! This would also all be a great filling for some AMAZING fish tacos! š
