This mahi mahi dish is bright and tangy thanks to homemade mango salsa and a vibrant side of rice studded with cilantro and lime zest. We like mahi mahi because its texture is delicate, yet it stands up well to searing. The sous vide mahi mahi is finished in a hot pan for a perfectly flaky interior with a rich, golden exterior. Our mango salsa comes together in under five minutes, but you could always buy it premade, just be sure to seek out the ready-made mango salsa in the refrigerated section for the most vibrant flavor.

3) While the fish cooks, prepare the salsa. Zest lime and set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 mango, 1/2 cup red onion, juice from half the lime, and half the cilantro. Season to taste with salt and set aside until ready to serve.
4) Once the rice has finished cooking, cut remaining lime half into two pieces. Transfer rice to a large bowl and stir in the lime zest, remaining cilantro, and juice from one half of the remaining lime. Season rice with salt and pepper to taste. Cut the remaining piece of lime in half for garnish.
5) Heat vegetable oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Pat mahi mahi dry and place in the skillet. Sear for 1 minute until browned and then gently flip and sear on the other side for 1 minute. Transfer mahi mahi to a plate.
6) Divide rice between two plates, top with mahi mahi fillets, and a large spoonful of mango salsa. Serve mahi mahi with lime wedges and remaining salsa on the side.
