Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet Sesame Mahi Mahi with Pineapple Salsa.
Step 1
Start by creating a vibrant pineapple salsa that will elevate your dish.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine juicy pineapple chunks, fresh chopped cilantro, finely minced red onion, and a splash of zesty lime juice.
Step 3
Gently toss everything together until well mixed, then set it aside to let those flavors mingle.
Step 4
Next, take your mahi mahi fillets and give them a light rub with sesame oil, ensuring they’re nicely coated.
Step 5
Now, sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over one side of each fillet, pressing down gently so they stick.
Step 6
Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the fillets in the skillet, sesame seed side down.
Step 8
Let them cook for about four minutes, allowing that beautiful crust to form.
Step 9
When the time is up, flip the fillets with care and continue cooking until the fish turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork, which should take another three to five minutes.
Step 10
Finally, serve your perfectly cooked mahi mahi fillets topped with the refreshing pineapple salsa, and enjoy a delightful burst of flavors that will transport you to a tropical paradise!.
