Mahi Mahi with herbs lemon capers & garlic sauce, sautéed purple broccoli & farro + toasted almonds – a simple, healthy & delicious meal
Recipe:
Ingredients:
For the fish: wild caught Mahi Mahi filet (cod or other white fish would work too), 4 garlic cloves, extra virgin olive oil, capers, lemon , scallions , butter (optional), fresh rosemary & oregano – from @alo_farms , sea/kosher or coarse garlic salt, black pepper, citrus herb seasoning (optional).
For the broccoli: sprouting purple broccoli – found it @peachtreecitymarket farmers’ market, (regular broccoli would work too), a little onion , 2-3 cloves garlic , lemon , olive oil, butter (optional) salt & pepper.
For the farro: @bobsredmill farro, salt, butter, slivered almonds.
Start by cooking the farro per instructions since it will take the longest (approx. 30 minutes). Once the farro is cooked, drain, add a little butter & salt to taste. Toast the slivered almonds in butter & mix them in.
Rinse & pat dry the Mahi Mahi filet. Lightly pre salt the fish on both sides & let sit while you are preparing the sauce. Sauce: in a bowl mix minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped fresh rosemary & oregano, finely sliced scallions, capers, citrus herb seasoning, cracked black pepper & more salt. Whisk together with a fork & pour over fish ensuring it is all well coated. Optional: add unsalted pasture raised butter slices. Top fish with lemon slices.
Bake in oven at 400 degrees for approx. 12-18 minutes depending on the size & thickness of your filet. Mahi Mahi is cooked once internal temp reaches 137 (take fish out at 134-135 & then let rest in pan for 5 minutes).
When fish is close to done, start preparing the broccoli. Heat up pan over medium-high heat, then add olive oil or butter. Sauté the onion, then add the garlic. Add the broccoli next & season. Sauté tossing frequently until stalks start getting tender (approx. 5-7 minutes). Don’t overcook the broccoli, you want it to still have a little crunch. Finish off with a splash of lemon juice & a little butter.
Serve the Mahi Mahi with the broccoli & farro. Enjoy!
