WOW. Just one word to describe the incredibly delicious smells emitting from the oven as the mahi mahi baked to perfection. Curry powder... lemon and lime zest.... chopped shallots.... and olive oil... all working in harmony to create a dish that was fantastic. The curry fragrance that filled the house during the baking made me so hungry, I just couldn't wait to sit down and eat. Eating more fish for health is easy to do with a recipe like this one. Try it, and you'll be saying wow too :)
Citrus and Curry Baked Mahi-Mahi (serves 4)
1 cup olive oil
zest from 1 lemon and 1 lime
squeeze of lemon and lime
1 med-large shallot, minced
1/4 of a fennel bulb, minced (yes, my new favorite ingredient!)
salt, pepper to taste
1 T. curry powder
4 mahimahi fish fillets (or any white fish your prefer)
Put all ingredients into a gallon sized ziplock baggie and let marinate in the refrigerator at least 12 hours but not more than 24 hours.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place fish fillets onto a baking rack over a sheet pan. Make sure all your marinade is scooped on the fish fillets. Bake for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Enjoy!
(serving suggestion: serve with rice, quinoa or other favorite grain)
This was really good. Maybe I should have stuck to mahi mahi though. I used another type of fish, and it was a little tough. But the seasoning was spot on!
