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.
