Tropical Mahi-Mahi Salad In A Pita Recipe - Cooking Index
Messy but fun, these pita pockets are brimming with tangy onion sprouts and the tropical beat of mango, mahi-mahi, cilantro and ginger. Add zest with habanero hot sauce, if you like. Nectarines, papayas or peaches are a sweet substitute for mangoes.

Preheat the broiler. In a small bowl, mix the honey mustard, vinegar, yogurt, ginger and salt until smooth.
Put the mahi-mahi skin-side down on broiler rack and spread 2 tablespoons of the mustard mixture on top; reserve the rest for dressing the salad.
Broil the mahimahi 4 to 5 inches from the heat until the fish is just opaque through, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness. Remove from the oven and let stand while preparing the salad.
Halve the small cucumbers lengthwise and slice crosswise 1/8-inch thick. In a large bowl, toss the cucumbers, mangoes, radishes and cilantro. Peel the skin from the mahi-mahi and break the flesh into chunks. Add the mahi-mahi to the salad mixture, pour the reserved dressing on top and gently mix. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Half-fill each pita bread with sprouts and spoon in the mahi-mahi salad on top.
