Nothing says goodbye Summer like a nice grilled seafood dish with a tropical feel too it. Although I’m super excited Fall is here, I think our Summer went a little too fast. I’ll be saving this recipe to make again next Summer for sure. The salsa alone is so yummy my 3 year old gobbled it up!

Make the fish: Season the mahi mahi with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat. Sear the fish until opaque in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Transfer the fish to a platter and top with some of the salsa. Serve any extra salsa on the side.

Add in the chicken stock mixture one half cup at a time stirring until absorbed before adding in the next half of a cup. Repeat until the rice is al-dente, not too soft, but no longer crunchy. Risotto is meant to be on the firmer side. This process will take about 35-45 minutes.

Once done, add in the remaining coconut milk, lemon zest, salt, pepper and half of the toasted coconut and stir. Keep warm until serving. Stir again before serving.
