Roasted Mahi with Banana-Orange Relish

Summer is such a great time for meals with fruits and veggies, and I seem to be taking advantage of the flavors more than normal this summer. Not that all of my flavors are seasonal, but the heat just makes me crave light and refreshing meals, instead of hearty, comfort foods. I'm not a huge banana fan, so I had some reservations about this meal...I was nervous that it would be too much banana, not enough orange. In fact, I have had this recipe in my binder for a long time. So long that I can't remember when exactly I printed it. Oops. But finally I decided to face my nerves and give this one a try, and I'm so glad I did! The banana-orange relish added a nice flavor to the Mahi and further enforced my love for chunky sauces, or relishes, on my fish!

Ingredients

• 1 pound Mahi
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 ripe bananas, diced
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
• 2 oranges, peeled, segmented and chopped (I used jarred, mandarin oranges in water)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
1. Mix coriander and salt in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly on both sides of the fish. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
2. Bake the fish until it is juicy and almost flakes when pressed with a knife, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness.
3. Meanwhile, stir together bananas, orange zest, chopped oranges, cilantro, lime juice, coriander and salt in a medium bowl. To serve, spoon the relish over the fish.
