Mahi Mahi

Estradagirl's Note:

My husband and I are not big fish fans but our 5 yr old daughter loves fish so I wanted to make some. I couldn't find a recipe I liked so I made this one up. Everyone has loved it whenever I have made it, even us non-fish lovers. Tasted great and not fishy and really easy to make as well.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 mahi mahi fillets
• extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 yellow onion , Chopped
• 2 small shallots , Chopped
• 4 garlic cloves (more or less to your taste)
• 3 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 small lemon
• salt
• pepper

Directions:

1. Use a pan large enough to lay all of the filets inches.
2. Cover bottom with a thin layer of olive oil.
3. Stir in butter and cook over medium to low heat until butter is melted.
4. Stir in onions and shallots. Cook until they are soft.
5. Using a garlic press add in the garlic cloves.
6. Stir in sour cream.
7. Mix together and cook until sour cream is melted inches.
8. Spread all ingredients evenly in pan and lay the filets over this.
9. Squeeze half of the lemon over filets and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let cook until that side is done, about 5 minutes.
10. Turn filets over, squeeze other half of lemon and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Turn off heat and cover pan. Leave in pan until done cooking, about another 5 - 7 minutes.
11. You can leave them in pan until you are ready to serve to keep warm. Turning off the heat before they are done cooking helps make sure that they don't get over cooked.

This was yummy. I even added walnuts toward the end so I had a crunch with my sauce and fish.

Wow. I don't know if the fish adds to the sauce or what. But I ended up eating all the leftover sauce, it was so good! We didn't use the lemon though. Will definitely make again!

This was a great fish recipe to have on hand! I will definitely try it again--though, the fish was just a touch dry. Perhaps I cooked it too long; I haven't tried Mahi Mahi before. But the sauce was good (my husband wished there was more to put on his rice, so if serving it with rice, you may want to make a little more of the sauce!), and the fish had a nice flavor. Thank you so much for posting!
