Seared Mahi Mahi Salad with Tangerine, Guava and Pink Peppercorn Dressing
Mahi mahi is a relatively low-in-fat fish, but is still a source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Mild and sweet, it does not taste “fishy”, making it a good pick for people who don’t like fish much but want to get some into their diets.
