"This recipe features tender mahi-mahi and avoids the calorie overload of fried batter by featuring fresh, traditional toppings like red cabbage and avocado. To add to the flavor and beauty of the dish, you’ll make a lively salsa out of bright cherry tomatoes and freshly roasted corn." -Men's Health
