Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 small Shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup White mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Dried apricots, chopped
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 2 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large, deep skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallots and garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to release their moisture and brown slightly.
Add the chopped dried apricots to the pan and stir to combine.
Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
Add the chicken or vegetable stock, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf to the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Carefully place the mahi mahi fillets into the broth, ensuring they are partially submerged. Cover the pan with a lid.
Poach the fish for 8-10 minutes, or until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Turn off the heat and let the fish rest in the broth for 2 minutes.
Remove the mahi mahi fillets from the pan and set them on serving plates. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf.
Spoon the mushrooms, apricots, and some of the broth over the fish for serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of side, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
