Sesame and Pineapple Salsa Mahi Mahi

This tastes like a mini vacation to Maui. It is probably in my top 3 favorite fish recipes! 

Competition Prep Note: Do not use the added coconut sugar. 

Ingredients
8 ounces of mahi mahi
1 cup pineapple salsa (or mango salsa) 
1/4 cup sesame seeds

1-2 tbsp. coconut oil

1 tsp. coconut sugar (optional!)

Directions

Thaw mahi mahi. Heat coconut oil in skillet. Pat dry the mahi mahi with a paper towel. sprinkle the sesame seeds over the white flesh (not on the skin). Gently press the seeds into the skin to make sure they stay put. Once the pan and oil is very hot, add the mahi mahi to the skillet with the seeds facing down. Cook for approx. 3 minutes (depending on thickness of fillet). If you would like, you can sprinkle the skins with the coconut sugar while the seeded side is facing down. This recipe doesnt need it, but is delicious with it. Flip over the fillets. The sesame seeds should be a delicious golden color. Cook for another 2-4 minutes approx. 

Remove from skillet once the fish is white and flakey and serve with pineapple or mango salsa on top. 

Enjoy!
