Ingredients
- 1 Cedar plank
- 6 5 Ounces (oz) mahi mahi fillets, marinated
- 1 Cup bottled teriyaki sauce
- 2 Whole mangos, peeled
- 0.5 Whole red bell pepper, seeded
- 4 Whole green onions, minced
- 1 Whole jalapeño pepper, minced
- 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) fresh cilantro, minced
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) fresh lime juice
- 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
- 1 Pinch salt, to taste
- 1 Pinch freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 Teaspoons (tsp) olive oil
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) lemon juice
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) chipotle seasoning
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) red pepper flakes
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) hot-pepper sauce
Instructions
- Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 2 hours or longer if possible.
- Place the mahi mahi fillets in a shallow dish and coat them with teriyaki sauce. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced mangos, minced red bell pepper, green onions, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro. Season with lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until well combined, then cover and refrigerate until serving to blend flavors.
- Prepare an outdoor grill for indirect heat. If using charcoal, arrange and light coals under one half of the grill.
- Sprinkle olive oil and lemon juice over the fish fillets and season with chipotle seasoning, red pepper flakes, and hot-pepper sauce. Remove the plank from the water and place the seasoned fillets on the plank.
- Place the plank with fish on the preheated grill over direct heat. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Move the plank with fish over to indirect heat (the cooler part of the grill); cover and cook until the fish is easily flaked with a fork, about 10 more minutes. Serve the fish hot, topped with mango salsa.
Enjoy the delightful bursts of flavor from the grilled mahi mahi and spicy mango salsa!
