Mahi Mahi With Creole Sauce Atkins Recipes

MAHI-MAHI WITH CREOLE SAUCE (ATKINS)

Steps:

• Sprinkle fish with lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Saut onions and peppers until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
• Add tomatoes: reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce thickens, about 8 minutes. Stir in cilantro and hot pepper sauce to taste. Set aside.
• Heat oil in large non-stick skillet over high heat. Saut fish until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Spoon sauce over fish before serving.

THE BEST MAHI-MAHI

Steps:

• For the salsa: Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium heat. When hot, brush generously with vegetable oil.
• Grill the pineapple rings and scallions (working in batches if using a grill pan), flipping the scallions often, until tender and charred, 3 to 5 minutes total and flipping the pineapple once, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes on each side. Let cool on a cutting board then dice. Toss to combine with the lime juice and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. (The cilantro and mint will be added just before serving.)
• For the mahi-mahi: Combine the soy sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic, scallion, ginger, lime juice and reserved pineapple juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, syrupy and thick, about 6 minutes.
• Pat the mahi-mahi dry with paper towels and generously brush the tops of the fish with the glaze; season with a good pinch each of salt and pepper. Grill glaze-side down, undisturbed, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes. Brush the tops of the fish with glaze and season with another pinch each of salt and pepper. Flip and grill, undisturbed, until the fish is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Brush the tops with more glaze.
• Divide the fish among plates. Fold the cilantro and mint into the pineapple salsa, then spoon it over the fish. Serve immediately.

• Brush the maple syrup mixture over the mahi mahi fillets.
• Cook the mahi mahi in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
