Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 cups, halved Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the fillets in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down slightly and release their juices.
Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, honey, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Return the Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet and spoon the tomato-lime sauce over the top. Let the fish simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to warm through.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately. Pair with rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
