I have been looking to mix it up a little recently and decided fish was a good protein to throw into the mix. Our Costco doesn't carry Mahi Mahi or Cod dependably, but I can usually get one or the other. I feel like the recipes I have been trying are pretty interchangable for those fish. Here's a quick and easy new recipe for Mahi Mahi that I'll definitely add to the rotation.
Special Equipment: None
Time Management:
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
4 (3 oz) filets of Mahi Mahi or other white fish
Kosher salt
pepper
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 heaping Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp butter
1 lemon, juiced
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
Prepare fish by rinsing and delicately patting dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and allow to sit.
Heat oil in frying pan (avoid non-stick pan) over medium high heat.
While oil is heating, pat fish dry again and dredge in flour, patting off excess.
When oil has reached cooking temp place each piece of fish in oil and allow to cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. This will achieve a crisply seared crust.
Turn fish one time and continue cooking 2-3 additional minutes. While cooking on second side, place 1/2 Tbsp pat of butter on each piece and allow to melt.
Deglaze the pan with lemon juice and scrape the bottom of the pan for added flavor.
Toss in parsley and spoon a tablespoon of the buttery mixture over your fish when serving.
I served this with steamed broccoli and an onion and garlic sprouted rice blend (my go-to side dishes).
