There's something about mahi-mahi; firm yet flaky, delicate yet strong (in Hawaiian “mahi-mahi” means “very strong), with a hint of sweetness in its flesh. A fish this outstanding deserves a special preparation and we think we've done it proud here. The mahi-mahi is dusted in mojito lime seasoning and topped with a salsa that combines the sweet (pineapple), the spicy (jalapeño), and the hit of wholesome acid (tomato). Creamy and sweet coconut risotto offers the perfect accompaniment to this fabulous fish. Tip: Easier way to mince cilantro? Gather them all in one hand and lay on the cutting board. Use your knife in a rocking motion to cut, then turn 90 degrees and repeat until the herbs are properly minced!
