Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 large Red bell peppers
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cups Crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
Brush the mahi mahi fillets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil on both sides and season evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Roast the red bell peppers directly over a gas flame or under the broiler until the skin is charred and blistered, turning occasionally for even roasting. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
Place the roasted peppers in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let them steam for 5 minutes to loosen the skin.
Peel the charred skin off the peppers, remove the stems and seeds, and roughly chop the flesh.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the chopped roasted bell peppers, lemon juice, and chicken or vegetable broth. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Transfer the pepper mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to purée until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Keep warm over low heat.
Place the seasoned mahi mahi fillets on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of the roasted bell pepper sauce onto each plate, place a grilled mahi mahi fillet on top, and garnish with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
