Ingredients

Scale

Fish:

  • 4 fillets white fish

Seasonings:

  • Salt to taste
  • 1 ground black pepper

Tartar Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) chopped pickles
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) capers
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) lemon juice

Mango Salsa Ingredients:

  • 1 mango, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) chopped cilantro
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat outdoor grill to 400°F with clean, oiled grates for optimal fish preparation.
  2. Pat fish fillets dry and generously season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
  3. Place seasoned fillets at a 45-degree angle on hot grill, cooking approximately 3-4 minutes per side until fish flakes easily with a fork.
  4. While fish grills, whisk mayonnaise, finely chopped pickles, briny capers, and fresh lemon juice in a mixing bowl until well combined.
  5. Simultaneously prepare mango salsa by dicing ripe mango, thinly slicing red onion, and chopping fresh cilantro, then gently mixing with a pinch of salt.
  6. Transfer perfectly grilled fish to serving plates, generously dollop tartar sauce alongside, and crown with vibrant mango salsa.

Notes

  • Pat fish dry before seasoning to ensure a crispy exterior and better grill marks.
  • Use firm white fish like halibut, cod, or sea bass for best grilling results.
  • Check fish doneness by gently flaking with a fork; it should be opaque and easily separate.
  • Marinate fish in citrus or herb mixture for 15-30 minutes to enhance flavor and moisture.
  • For gluten-free option, replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or avocado in tartar sauce.
  • Grill fish on well-oiled grates to prevent sticking and maintain delicate texture.
  • Add jalapeño to mango salsa for extra heat and complexity.
