Step 1
Start by heating a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and let it cook gently for about 3 minutes until it softens up a bit. Sprinkle in the brown sugar and stir it around until it melts into the onions, which should take about a minute. Then add the mango, pineapple, and a splash of red wine, letting everything simmer together for 3 to 5 minutes until it’s warmed through. Once that’s ready, scoop the salsa into a bowl and set it aside.

Step 2
Wipe the skillet clean if needed, then heat another 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Season your mahi mahi steaks with salt and pepper, then coat them evenly with blackening seasoning. Cook the fish in the hot oil for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily when you test it with a fork. Serve the steaks hot, topped generously with the fruity salsa you made earlier.
Why you’ll love it
This dish is a perfect balance of fresh, sweet, and savory flavors. The juicy fish pairs wonderfully with the bright and zesty mango salsa. It’s light, healthy, and full of vibrant colors that make it as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the palate.
How to serve
Serve alongside a bed of fluffy rice or quinoa to soak up the juices. A simple green salad or steamed vegetables also complement the fresh flavors well. A light white wine or sparkling water with lime pairs nicely with this meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Keep the fish and salsa separate to maintain texture and freshness. Reheat the fish gently to avoid drying it out, and add fresh salsa when serving.
