Foil Packet Mahi Mahi with Pineapple Salsa
I love that this foil packet mahi-mahi is such a quick and easy dish to make. If you haven’t made a foil packet dinner before then you’re in for a treat. The foil packet keeps the fish perfectly moist and flavorful.
You start with 4 squares of foil, 4 mahi-mahi fillets, pineapple salsa, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Season your fish liberally with salt and pepper. Place one mahi-mahi filet in the center of each foil square.
Brush the fish with extra virgin olive oil.
Wrap it up like a package. Just fold the top and bottom.
Then, make a tee-pee with the other two sides and crimp the top. Now you have a foil packet. Bake in the over for 12-14 minutes.
Unwrap your package and top with pineapple salsa. I used La Victoria Pineapple Salsa. It’s sweet taste pairs really well with Mahi-Mahi and it’s mild flavor makes it kid-friendly. Using pineapple salsa from the jar also makes this a quick weeknight meal. You can have dinner on the table in 20 minutes.
Other kid-friendly seafood recipes we have made are Instant Pot Salmon with Homemade Teriyaki Sauce and Tilapia Fish Cakes with Potato.
Serve this with Buttered Carrots, Instant Pot Butternut Squash, Easy Oven Roasted Zucchini and Yellow Squash, or Instant Pot Baked Potatoes.

Yum! I could do this on the grill when it’s to hot to cook indoors too.

I actually had made some pineapple kiwi salsa for chicken tacos and had some leftover, so I cooked two mahi fillets and used my leftover salsa. It was great! Thanks.
