Lick your plate good fish dish!


Oh yes, my friends, there is more to life than veggies, even for the Veggie Queen. A little disclaimer here- this is not, in any way, shape, or form, low fat. It is worth the occasional splurge, however. We have discovered that it is best to portion the fish carefully, and serve it from the kitchen in our house rather than a serving dish on the table, as we had a hard time stopping once we started eating. So here we go-


Start with the recipe for 3 cups basmati rice, preparing as per bag instructions with the following exception- to the cold water, before adding rice, add:

2 jalepeno peppers, minced

the zest and juice of one large lime

1 TBS orange zest

1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

Then cook as per package instructions, and set aside as you prepare the fish.


For fish you will need-

4 Mahi Mahi filets, cleaned, and free of bones

2 mangos, cut up into chunks, divided

1 pinapple, cut up into chunks, divided

1 can of coconut milk, divided

4 TBS butter, divided

4 TBS olive oil, divided

Aleao sea salt to taste

2 TBS parsley, chopped, divided

fresh ground pepper to taste


In two non-stick pans, heat the butter and olive oil- 2 TBS, of each in each, over medium heat. Add the filets- 2 in each pan, so not to crowd them. Sear on one side, then gently turn over. Add the fruit, and pour coconut milk over top, and add the parsley. Stir to mix the milk and pan drippings. Add sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Allow to simmer until sauce is thick and creamy. Adjust the seasoning, and serve over the rice. Enjoy!
