Ingredients
Rice:
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 scallions, green parts only, chopped
- Salt
Mango Sauce:
- 1 mango
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup grapeseed oil
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 clove garlic, quartered
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger
Fish:
- 4 mahi-mahi fillets
- 1/4 cup grapeseed oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 scallions, chopped, for garnish
Directions
For the rice: Combine the rice and water together in a large saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook the rice for 20 minutes.
For the sauce: Peel the mango and slice the flesh off the pit. Dice the mango flesh.
In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the mango, cilantro, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
Heat a large, nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat.
Rub the fish fillets with the oil, salt, and pepper. Place in the hot pan and sear until golden on 1 side, 3 to 4 minutes.
Turn the fish over and cook until cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the fish. You'll know the fish is done when the flesh springs back. Remove the fish to a plate.
When the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently stir in the cilantro and scallions. Season with salt, to taste.
Place a mound of rice on each plate. Top with mahi-mahi. Spoon the mango sauce over each fillet and top with chopped scallions. Drizzle the liquid from the mango sauce around the rice.

I really enjoyed this recipe. The mango salsa was unique and really delicious. Adding cilantro and scallions to the rice was a great way to make rice feel special, with almost no extra effort. I used tilapia in place of the mahi-mahi because it was more easily available/affordable, and just cooked it for less time - it worked very well in this recipe, although it worked out to 1-1/2 or 2 fillets per person instead of just one to fill us up. Overall, great flavors and super fast - a great weeknight dish.
