Mahi Mahi with Mango Slaw

This recipe is SO simple – and a perfect weeknight recipe. It’s so easy – the prep time is next to nothing. Mahi mahi is packed full of omega 3’s. What I love most about it is it’s a nice, firm fish, but doesn’t have too much of a fishy taste. It’s great for someone who isn’t a self-proclaimed fish lover. I personally am pretty picky about my fish – but this fish is a sure-fire pass for me!

Mahi Mahi Cooking Tips and Tricks

I buy my mahi mahi frozen – I find the quality is better! I personally love the IQF Foods mahi mahi – its flash-frozen and SO fresh!

This is a dinner party pleaser. If you want to amp up the flavour and make it a bit more special, I would recommend pan frying the fish on high heat before baking to get a golden, crispy outside and lock in the moisture! For a week night though, baking the fish brushed with olive oil is sufficient!

This pairs well with rice as well – but I love the sweet flavour of the sweet potato with the tart slaw.
