Mahi Mahi

Recipe #326824 | 25 min | 10 min prep | add private note

My husband and I are not big fish fans but our 5 yr old daughter loves fish so I wanted to make some. I couldn't find a recipe I liked so I made this one up. Everyone has loved it whenever I have made it, even us non-fish lovers. Tasted great and not fishy and really easy to make as well.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Use a pan large enough to lay all of the filets inches.
  2. 2
    Cover bottom with a thin layer of olive oil.
  3. 3
    Stir in butter and cook over medium to low heat until butter is melted.
  4. 4
    Stir in onions and shallots. Cook until they are soft.
  5. 5
    Using a garlic press add in the garlic cloves.
  6. 6
    Stir in sour cream.
  7. 7
    Mix together and cook until sour cream is melted inches.
  8. 8
    Spread all ingredients evenly in pan and lay the filets over this.
  9. 9
    Squeeze half of the lemon over filets and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let cook until that side is done, about 5 minutes.
  10. 10
    Turn filets over, squeeze other half of lemon and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Turn off heat and cover pan. Leave in pan until done cooking, about another 5 - 7 minutes.
  11. 11
    You can leave them in pan until you are ready to serve to keep warm. Turning off the heat before they are done cooking helps make sure that they don't get over cooked.

This dish was absolutely delicious. I have never cooked Mahi until tonight. My intention was to find a good grilled recipe that called for ingredients on hand but very few had normal stocked ingredients. Minus the shallots, we had everything we needed. My husband and I raved at how wonderful this was. Thanks for posting! This would be a perfect dish for a small dinner party as it presents well and is tasty.

    This was very tasty. We like fish already, but I'm not much of a fan of white fish. This sauce could be used for any white fish and make it tasty. Great over rice.
