Prep: 15 minutes; Cook: 12 minutes; Marinate: 20-30 minutes. This salsa can be served with any grilled seafood, poultry, or meat. Choose the kind of chile you use based on how much heat you like. Serrano chiles are hotter than jalapeño peppers; if you want more kick, don't remove the seeds. Make sure you wear gloves when handling hot peppers.

Last season my friend took me on his boat and showed me how to catch these beautiful fish. Did you know their actually called Dorado?We tried this recipe and were blown away. I even did a taste test with the fish we caught vs store bought...hands down the fresh fish won!If you ever want to catch one yourself, here's a guide: https://castandspear.com/dorado-fish/I can't stop salivating for mahi now!

Made to recipe except didn't marinate the fish in lime juice, just dipped it, seasoned & cooked. Good summer meal. Served with corn & black beans.

Amazing, easy recipe! The best mahi mahi I've had in a long time...the grill makes the difference and the salsa is amazing...this will definitely make the top recipes I've seen recently! I'm going to use the leftover salsa on my eggs tomorrow morning! Fabulous!!!

Very good! Broiled the fish instead of grilling just because we didn't feel like firing up the grill.

Delicious. The avocado chile salsa went well with the fish (I used the left over salsa on grilled chicken breast; was as equally delicious as with the fish). Served with asparagus and baked sweet potatoes.

Great recipe! I'm not a huge fish fan, but am trying to incorporate more into our diets - this was a great way to go. The Mahi Mahi is obviously mild, and held up great to grilling, and the avocado salsa slathered on top was refreshing and yummy. Served with brown rice, and some corn.

This was a really, really good quick and easy recipe. I used two jalapenos because I like more spice but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I served it with CL's Grilled Mexican Corn with Crema and the dinner was a success. Conversation basically stopped as we all focused on eating the food. I would definitely make this again.
