Seared Halibut with Mango Salsa

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by preparing the mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced ripe mango, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, juice of one lime, and minced jalapeño. Mix well and season with salt to taste. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

2. 2

   Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

4. 4

   Carefully place the halibut fillets in the skillet and sear for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side, until a golden crust forms.

5. 5

   Flip the fillets and sear the other side for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

6. 6

   Once the halibut is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

7. 7

   Serve the seared halibut fillets topped with a generous spoonful of the mango salsa. Enjoy immediately.
