Directions:

1

Watch how to make this recipe

2

Peel the mango, cut into slices, and drop into the feed tube of a running blender to puree

3

Add the rice wine vinegar, cilantro, garlic, ginger, water, oil, mustard, and lime juice

4

Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and set aside

5

Bring chicken stock to a simmer

6

In a separate large saucepan on an adjacent burner, heat the olive oil and add the shallots and the rice

7

Lightly saute: you actually are toasting the rice

8

Cook until the rice becomes translucent and the shallots become soft, stirring constantly

9

Add the white wine to deglaze the pan

10

Begin slowly adding the warm stock, 1 ladle-full at a time, to the rice pan, stirring as you go

11

This will bring out the starch in the rice and make the mixture creamy

12

As the mixture absorbs the broth, ladle more into the pot

13

When the first ladle of stock has been absorbed into the rice, add the pinch of saffron

14

When all of the stock has been ladled into the rice pot, slowly simmer until the rice is soft and creamy

15

Stir the butter into the risotto for more flavor and creaminess

16

Set aside, keeping warm until needed

17

Heat a saute pan for the fish

18

Rub fish fillets with oil, salt and pepper

19

Place in pan, skin side facing up

20

Turn the fish over after 3 to 4 minutes

21

Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until done

22

Do not overcook the fish

23

It is done when the flesh springs back

24

Remove the fish to a utility platter

25

Place a mound of risotto on each plate

26

Top with mahi-mahi

27

Drizzle some mango sauce around the plate and top with chopped scallions
