Great Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Mango Salsa

May 21, 2013

Grilled Mahi-Mahi with mango salsa is a healthy meal to help you achieve your ideal summer beach body. Mahi-Mahi filets are soaked in a simple marinade comprised of vinegar, red pepper flakes, and ginger. You'll only want to marinate the fish for about 30 minutes or else the acid from the vinegar will begin to cook the fish. The grilled filets are served alongside a delicious mango salsa.
