I ordered a box of peaches from a local fundraiser last week, and they have been the best peaches ever!
After giving many peaches away and eating many peaches, it was time to prepare them differently.
Salsa is a low prep, high flavor use of peaches. If mahi-mahi isn’t your thing, any other mild-flavored fish can be used.
Enjoy, stay well.
Ingredients
For the salsa
1 bell pepper (4 oz), seeded and finely diced
2 jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 1/2 lbs. peaches, diced
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper or to taste
3 Mahi Mahi filets (S+P, TT)
2 T Olive oil
1 head romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
Balsamic glaze optional
Directions:
Prep and wash all of the vegetables. Combine the salsa ingredients, taste, adjust seasoning if necessary, set aside.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until just starting to smoke, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the mahi-mahi and sear undisturbed until well browned on the bottom and the sides are cooked just past halfway up the fillets, about 4 minutes.
Flip the fillets and continue to sear until just cooked through and the flesh flakes easily, 2 to 4 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Transfer to a serving platter and serve over a bed of romaine, top with the salsa, and drizzle balsamic glaze if desired.
