Start by making the mango salsa. In a bowl combine the diced mango, bell pepper, jalapeno, cilantro and red onion. Stir together well before adding in the lime zest and lime juice. Taste and add more lime juice if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
In a small bowl combine the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir together well.
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with a paper towel. Coat the fillets on both sides in the spice pressing firmly with your hands to ensure that the spice sticks to the fish.
Add the butter/ghee and oil to a large nonstick pan on medium high heat. Once the butter has melted and is hot add in the fish fillets and leave untouched for 4 minutes before flipping and cooking for an additional 4 minutes.
