Prepare the mahi mahi by applying a spice rub made of 1 tablespoon cumin, 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika, 0.5 teaspoon chili powder, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.

Generously rub the spice mixture onto the fish, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat (375°F) and add canola oil.

Place the seasoned fish in the skillet and cook until it flakes easily, checking the bottom to ensure it's not overcooked.

Prepare the avocado by cutting it around the pit and removing it, then dice it.

Peel and chop the mango, avoiding the pit.

Combine diced avocado, chopped mango, 0.25 cup green onions, and 2 tablespoons cilantro in a bowl.

Add lime juice (about 1 tablespoon or more) to the mixture to prevent browning of the avocado and mix well.
