Instructions
- Heat 1-2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season Mahi Mahi with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Cook Mahi Mahi in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and flesh flakes easily. Transfer to a serving platter.
- Add onion, garlic, roasted peppers to the skillet, and cook for a couple of minutes until onion is translucent about 3-4 minutes. Add vegetable stock, juice of a half lime, and butter. Cook the sauce for another 5 minutes until it thickens a little bit while stirring occasionally. Season with cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the fish to the pan and cover with sauce.
- Serve warm, spoon roasted pepper butter sauce over the fish, and garnish with pine nuts and parsley.
Notes
- Use a nonstick or cast iron skillet to cook the Mahi Mahi on the cooktop so that the fish doesn't stick to the pan.
- Use a hot pan and pat dry the fish with a paper towel before you season it with salt & black pepper.
- Take care not to overcook the Mahi Mahi. It only needs 3 to 4 minutes on each side. If you have an instant-read thermometer it should register at 145ºF.
- Use fresh lime juice in this recipe. The bottled stuff doesn't have the same zing.
- You can cook the Mahi Mahi with or without the skin.
