One of my favorite things to do is to take ingredients I have lying around the apartment and find a way to use them in a meal that will compliment all of the flavors involved. When Justin brought home some delicious looking mahi mahi filets last weekend, I was excited to get back from work on Monday and whip something up! When I think mahi mahi, I think "fresh". When cooking fish, I have come to find that less is more. I decided to try a recipe using fresh lemons and garlic, which really livens the flavor of the fish. I remembered our frozen broccoli that had been hanging out in our freezer for a while, as well as a box of cous cous sitting lonely in our cupboard. These ingredients worked out excellent together and created a quick and easy Monday night dish.
Lemon-Garlic Mahi Mahi
Ingredients:
2 Mahi Mahi Filets (Thawed)
1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 Tbsp Chopped Garlic
1 Lemon (Juiced)
1 Cup White Wine (Use 1/4 Cup, the rest is for you =))
1 Tbsp Capers
1 Tbsp Light Butter
1 Tsp Salt & Pepper To Taste
1 Bag Broccoli (Defrosted)
1 Box Parmesean Cous Cous
Directions:
1. Heat up the oil in a large saute pan (medium/high).
2. Begin to prepare the cous cous according to the package.
3. Sprinkle the filets with salt and pepper and place onto pan.
4. Cook mahi mahi until golden brown on one side. Once you flip the filets, add in the garlic, lemon, capers, and white wine. Once those ingredients cook a bit, add the butter.
4. Throw the broccoli into the pan and allow it to absorb the flavors. Cover the pan and let it sit for about a minute.
5. Once the cous cous is cooked, place it on the middle of the plate. Next, add a mahi mahi filet right over the cous cous and set broccoli on the side of the filet. Next, drizzle the dish with fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of pepper. Enjoy!
