In a small bowl, combine half a pack of AJI-GINISA® Flavor Seasoning Mix chili powder, and lemon juice. Mix this well and use this to marinate the cream dory for at least 15 minutes. While it’s marinating, take the time to prepare the avocado mango salsa.

In a bowl, add avocado, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro leaves, and half a pack of AJI-GINISA® Flavor Seasoning Mix Mix it all well until ingredients are nicely incorporated. Be careful not to overmix so as to keep the mangoes chunky.

Next, heat up your grill. Place your marinated cream dory and let it cook until it’s nice and golden brown. Baste the fish with the excess marinade while it’s on the grill to keep your cream dory moist and tasty!
