Mediterranean Mahi Mahi
Every once in a while I question whether cheese goes with fish - then I make it and the argument is squashed. I have an abundance of feta and mahi mahi (all from Costco) and challenged myself to combine the two.. here’s what I came up with:
-2 mahi mahi filets
-lemon juice
-salt and pepper
-2 tablespoons butter
-1 small yellow onion - chopped
-1/2 cup white wine
-1 can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano - I also threw in a few cherry tomatoes
-3 tablespoons capers (drained)
-2-3 cups fresh spinach
-chili flakes
-1/2 cup kalamata and green olives
-feta
-orzo
-chopped parsley
-Season fish with salt, pepper, and lemon juice - let sit while you mise en place
-Preheat oven to 375
-Melt butter over medium heat in large pan - add onions, salt and pepper and saute 3-5 minutes or until translucent
-Pour wine, and stir
-Add in fresh tomatoes (if you have em’), canned tomatoes, capers, and olives - stir
-Add chili flakes
-Taste and add salt and pepper if needed - add in spinach and cook until just wilted
-Pour tomato mixture over fish and bake for 18-20 minutes or until fish is cooked through
-Cook orzo, strain, return to pan, add a swirl of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, and feta cheese (just however much you like!)
-Serve fish over orzo, top everything with parsley
