Parsley is a common herb that can substitute for fresh flavor.

Combine 1 cup of quartered red grapes, 1 cup of sweet corn, 1/2 cup of diced red pepper, 1/2 cup of minced cilantro, 1 minced serrano pepper, 1 minced shallot, and lime juice in a bowl.

Add salt, pepper, and olive oil to the salsa mixture and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes to combine flavors.

For the spicy green grape coulis, purée 1/2 cup of green grapes and strain out the skins using a ladle and a strainer.

In a bowl, whisk together the green grape juice, 1/2 cup of Crème fraîche, lime juice, honey, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne, and kosher salt.

Marinate the mahi-mahi in canola oil and lime juice for about 10 minutes, seasoning with kosher salt and cayenne just before grilling.

Preheat the grill pan and oil it before placing the mahi-mahi presentation-side down.

Grill the mahi-mahi for about 3 minutes without touching it, checking for opaque edges.

Flip the mahi-mahi at a 45-degree angle and grill for another minute, seasoning the backside with kosher salt and cayenne.

Cook the backside for about another minute until the fish is flaky and moist in the center.

Remove the mahi-mahi to a warm plate and prepare for plating.
