Grilled Wahoo Recipe with mango salsa
Grilled Wahoo is marinated, grilled and then topped with fresh mango salsa.
Ingredients
- 2 Fresh wahoo fillets about 6 ounces each
- ⅓ Cup Olive Oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3-6 Mint Leaves
- 4 Cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- ¼ teaspoon Cumin
- ¼ teaspoon Turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- Pinch of Salt
Mango Salsa
- 1 ripe mango diced
- ¼ cup cucumber finely chopped
- ¼ cup sweet white onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
- ½ teaspoon fresh garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ medium jalapeno finely chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, chopped mint leaves, garlic, coriander, cumin, turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade. I like to use a small food processor instead of chopping the mint and the garlic. Put everything in the food processor and process on high until well blended. Place the wahoo steaks in a dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring all sides of the fish are covered. Let marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat. Using a paper towel, apply nonstick spray or canola oil to the grill grates to prevent sticking and achieve nice grill marks.
- Place the wahoo steaks on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, turning once, until the fish has nice grill marks and a perfect texture. As a very lean fish, wahoo should be grilled over medium heat to avoid drying out.
- While the fish is grilling, combine diced mango, red pepper, white onions, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Place grilled wahoo on a plate and top with a generous scoop of mango salsa. Serve with a side of corn tortillas or a fresh spinach mix or mashed potatoes and a vegetable for a complete meal.
