Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 2 teaspoons Fresh oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Begin by patting the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, gently place the Mahi Mahi fillets into the skillet.
3. Cook the fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 137°F). Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
5. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened and slightly blistered.
6. Add the halved Kalamata olives, lemon juice, and fresh oregano to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.
7. Remove the skillet from heat and gently stir in the crumbled feta cheese.
8. Plate the cooked Mahi Mahi fillets and spoon the tomato, olive, and feta mixture over the top.
9. Garnish with additional oregano leaves if desired and serve immediately with a side of your choice, such as roasted vegetables or orzo rice.
