Halibut with Mango Salsa

Ingredients

Halibut fillets

4 (6-ounce fillets)

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

1 teaspoon, divided

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Honey

1 tablespoon

Lime juice

2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed

Mango

1 large, diced

Red bell pepper

1, diced

Red onion

1/2 small, diced

Fresh cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the halibut fillets on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper.
3. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the halibut fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
4. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
5. While the halibut is baking, prepare the mango salsa. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, honey, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and adjust seasoning if needed.
6. Once the halibut is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a minute.
7. Serve the halibut fillets topped generously with the mango salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
8. Enjoy this delightful dish and savor the harmonious blend of flavors!
