Grilled Mahi-Mahi


This is super delicious recipe from Cooking Light Magazine. It’s quick and healthy. If you don’t prefer Mahi-mahi it would be great with chicken or shrimp. I like cooking the fish on the grill just make sure you put some foil down to prevent you from loosing the fish. I added some cayenne pepper to the salsa for more heat.
