What goes with Mahi-Mahi?
Mahi-mahi has compact, moderately large flakes and relatively little fat in its pale flesh. A thick loin portion feels firmer than sole or plaice and can hold its shape on a grill, but it does not have the internal richness of salmon. Darker tissue beside the skin tastes stronger and should be trimmed to suit a delicate preparation.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Mahi-Mahi?
Acidic citrus, fresh herbs and juicy tomato sharpen mahi-mahi without obscuring its compact texture. Tropical fruit works best as a small savoury condiment with deliberate acidity, rather than a thick sweet coating. For a softer preparation, vegetable ribbons or a fluid squash sauce add moisture around the fish while leaving its flakes distinct.
