Pan-Seared Halibut with Wild Rice and Mango Salsa
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 halibut fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 cup wild rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 mango, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of wild rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced mango, finely chopped red onion, diced red bell pepper, minced jalapeno pepper, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the halibut fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- To serve, divide the cooked wild rice among 4 plates. Top each plate with a pan-seared halibut fillet and a generous spoonful of mango salsa. Enjoy!
The history of Pan-Seared Halibut with Wild Rice topped with a mango salsa can be traced back to the Pacific Northwest, where the abundance of fresh seafood and local produce inspired chefs to create this delightful dish.

The succulent halibut is expertly pan-seared to perfection, complemented by the nutty flavors of wild rice and the refreshing sweetness of mango salsa.
