Mahimahi with Avocado-Melon Salsa


I bought some frozen Mahimahi from Sam's a couple of weeks ago, wasn't sure what I was going to do with them.... I found this recipe out of a new cookbook I recently bought-- You're Invited Back by The Junior League of Raleigh. Sometimes fish can be so intimidating to cook, but this recipe was so easy and very delicious!

Avocado-Melon Salsa
1 small avocado, chopped
1 cup (1/3-inch) cubes cantaloupe
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons grated lime zest
Salt and pepper to taste

Mahimahi
4 (6-ounce) mahimahi fillets
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning

Directions:
Salsa
Combine the avocado, cantaloupe, onion, cilantro, lime juice and lime zest in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Chill until serving time.

Mahimahi
Preheat the grill. Drizzle the fish with the olive oil and season on both sides with the jerk seasoning. Grill the fish for 4 minutes on each side or until flaky and opaque in the center.

  5. I love Junior League cookbooks! I use my Portland Palate cookbook all the time! It's filled many Pacific Northwest favorites. Your mahimahi looks like a perfect summer dish!
