Arbol Salsa

Method

Mahi Mahi Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Mahi Mahi

    In a shallow dish, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the Mahi Mahi fillets and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mahi Mahi

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the Mahi Mahi from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Grill the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Baja Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Baja Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Adjust salt to taste and set aside.

Arbol Salsa Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Arbol Salsa

    In a dry skillet, toast the dried Arbol chiles over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, remove the stems and seeds, then chop them finely. In a bowl, combine the chopped chiles, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
