Prepare the mahi-mahi by seasoning it with salt and pepper on both sides.

Dust the mahi-mahi with a little flour on both sides.

Heat a skillet until very hot.

Add a little oil to the skillet and place the mahi-mahi in it.

Cook the mahi-mahi for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

While the fish is cooking, prepare the pineapple salsa by chopping the pineapple, red bell pepper, red onions, jalapeno, and cilantro.

Mix the chopped ingredients in a bowl with fresh squeezed lime juice, salt, and pepper.

Let the salsa sit to allow the flavors to marry together (ideally overnight).

Cook the green beans separately until tender but still colorful.

Prepare rice and mix some pineapple salsa into it for flavor.

Plate the rice, place the mahi-mahi on top, and add more salsa over the fish.
