Ingredients

  • 14 ounces mahi mahi, two 7 ounce filets or similar
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons butter, salted
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced, about 3 cloves
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh squeezed
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup shallot , diced or sliced thin
  • 1.5 tablespoons parsley , chopped small, extra as garnish
  • pinch salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup chicken stock, deglaze the pan

Equipment

  • 1 saute pan

Instructions 

  • Place olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat.
  • Pat the mahi mahi dry using a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. My fish was boneless and skinless. Option to remove the skin if it is still attached. Season the mahi mahi with salt and cracked black pepper.
  • Add the fish to the pan, sear for 3 minutes on each side then reduce the heat to low. Cook the fish for another 1- 2 minutes. Remove the fish from the pan and set it aside.
  • In the same pan the fish was in, add the butter over medium heat. Let the butter melt down. Add the minced garlic, shallots, fresh chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and tomatoes. Stir well and let the tomatoes blister.
  • Add the chicken stock to the pan and let the sauce reduce. Once well combined, nestle the cooked mahi mahi in the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the filets and top them with some of the cooked tomatoes and lemon butter.
  • Garnish with some extra freshly chopped parsley and sliced tomatoes. Serve immediately and enjoy.
