Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Pat mahi mahi dry. Brush with olive oil and season with cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until fish flakes easily and is opaque throughout.
- 3
While fish cooks, mix mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt for the salsa.
- 4
Top each fillet with mango salsa.
- 5
Serve with rice and grilled vegetables.
Tip: Mahi mahi is a firm, meaty fish that holds up beautifully in the air fryer without falling apart. Don't flip it — cook it on one side for the best texture. The mango salsa should be made fresh; let it sit 10 minutes for flavors to meld.
