Garlic Glazed Mahi Mahi

Difficulty Level: Easy
Prep time: 5-10 minutes
Cook Time: 8-12 minutes
Serves: 2

Looking for a quick, delicious and healthy dinner option? Look no further than our delicious Garlic Glazed Mahi Mahi recipe. The trick to making this fish jump is in the flavoring–we used butter, garlic, lemon, shallots and white wine to create a sumptuous sauce. To add a little more punch we lightly tossed the fish in Panko bread crumbs, which gives it just the right amount of crunch. We recommend a side of fresh cooked spinach or kale, drizzled with lemon juice and garlic.


INGREDIENTS

2 mahi mahi filets (about 1lb)
3 tbsps butter
1/3 cup shallots, minced
3 tbsps garlic, minced
1/3 cup white wine
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

1. Heat a pot on medium-low heat and melt butter.

2. Add the minced garlic, shallots, salt, and pepper and let cook for 6-7 minutes or until shallots become translucent. Stir consistently.

3. Add the lemon juice and white wine, continue to stir. The sauce will reduce rapidly.

4. Heat a pan on medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil.

5. Add the mahi mahi, sprinkle the Panko breadcrumbs over both sides of the filets, and pour the sauce over them.

6. Cook 4-6 minutes on each side and serve immediately. The sauce should be completely reduced by now, so simply scoop the shallots, Panko and garlic and serve on top of the filet.

7. Enjoy!

Happy Tasting,
