i made this for dinner tonight, for my parents and i will i visit the suburbs (of chicago) for the weekend. it was absolutely DELICIOUS and i'm considering using the original recipe to make some scrumptious appetizers or a delightful summer salad.

they're mahi-mahi lettuce wraps and were surprisingly featured on paula deen! she's known for her heart-stopping, guilty pleasure food but this is one of the healthiest meals i had ever heard of! i skipped on the onion because after eating this meal, i wanted a fresh taste (not that onion-y one, bleck) and WOW did i get it!

so good for you and so so soooo good to dive into!

INGREDIENTS

1 mango, diced
2 plum tomatoes, diced
1 red onion, diced
1/2 jalapenos, diced
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
2 limes, juiced
Salt and pepper
2 mahi mahi fillets
Olive oil, as needed
Lettuce leaves (recommended butter or romaine)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Combine the mango, tomatoes, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice in a medium mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Season the fish with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil. Grill for roughly 3 to 4 minutes per side, until just opaque in the center. Set aside to cool

When slightly cool, chop into large chunks. Add to the reserved salsa and fold carefully as to not break up the fish. Add mixture to the middle of the lettuce leaves and roll.
