Simple, fast, and incredibly delicious, this recipe for Grilled Mahi Mahi with Fresh Corn and Avocado Salsa is the perfect healthy anytime meal.
Mahi-mahi, also known as dorado, is a mild, sweet-tasting fish perfect for grilling, searing, or baking. Its white, firm texture takes seasoning or marinating well, and makes it suitable for virtually any recipe, since the fillet will not break apart during cooking. Here at Sizzlefish, our Mahi-mahi is caught in the Pacific off the coast of Ecuador and is listed by Seafood Watch as a good alternative making it a safe and delicious addition to your meals.
This recipe for Grilled Mahi Mahi with Fresh Corn and Avocado Salsa could not be easier or a more perfect celebration of fresh summer cuisine. We absolutely love meals that come together like this. We simply seasoned the mahi-mahi fillets with a vibrant mix of warm spices, placed then on the grill alongside the fresh corn on the cob, then chopped everything for the salsa and dinner is done. Mahi-mahi is an incredibly easy fish to grill. Seriously, if you are at all afraid to grill fish, this is the fillet you should try first. Its texture is perfect for holding up to those grill grates. With just a few minutes on either side on the grill, you will have the most perfectly moist, flaky fillets that pair so well with the cool fresh vegetables in this corn and avocado salsa.
