Ingredients

2 fresh Opah fillets, 6-8 oz each

Olive oil

kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mango Salsa:

1 fresh, ripe mango, cubed

1/4 cup red onion, chopped and rinsed

1 fresh red fresno chile, minced

1 tablespoon chopped Cilantro

1 ripe but slightly firm avocado, cubed

a few tablespoons of citrus vinaigrette (recipe follows)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the Citrus Vinaigrette:

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon orange juice

1/2 teaspoon lime zest

1/2 teaspoon orange zest

1 tablespoon honey, or to taste

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 large handfuls of baby lettuce

1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

Citrus Vinaigrette: Combine all the ingredients in a jar or a tight-sealing plastic container. Shake to blend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mango-Avocado Salsa: Combine mango, red onion, chile and cilantro with a tablespoon of the vinaigrette. Add the avocado on top and drizzle with a couple more tablespoons of the vinagrette so it doesn't brown. Very gently, lightly mix in the avocado into the mango mixture. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Directions if grilling fish: Brush opah with olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste, add to grill, 6-8 minutes per side---do not overcook.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Directions for cooking fish indoors: If indoors, Preheat oven to 375. Season fish with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan with olive oil, and sear all sides of the opah as you would beef or chicken. When all sides have a nice golden brown hue, place pan in heated oven for a few minutes to finish. Again, do not over cook.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To plate: Place salad green and almonds in bowl and toss with remaining vinaigrette to lightly coat. Place a mound of salad on each serving plate. Place each piece of Opah on the salad then top with mango-avocado salsa. Drizzle any additional vinaigrette around the plate. Enjoy!

That sounds (and looks) incredibly delicious! I've never seen Opah fillets at our Costco, but I am going to check Whole Foods - I've seen Monkfish here, and I love it, so I'm sure I can find it somewhere (maybe have to go into the city fish monger shops, but it would be worth the trip) - the salsa sounds fantastic, and definitely something we would love. Thanks for the post - can't wait to try it!!
