Time 21m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons Spanish paprika
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon chile de arbol powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 large yellow bell peppers, grilled, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly grated pepper
4 mahi mahi fillets, 8 ounces each
4 teaspoons olive oil
"Barbecue" Rub
Cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Combine all the rub ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Place peppers, garlic, pine nuts, cilantro and cheese in a food processor and process until combined. With the motor running, add the oil and process until emulsified and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Heat grill to high. Brush each fillet on both sides with oil. Rub 1 side of each fillet with 1 tablespoon of the barbecue rub and place on the grill rub side down and cook until slightly charred and a crust has formed, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the fish over and grill for 3 to 4 minutes longer or until cooked to medium doneness. Top each fillet with a few tablespoons of the pesto and garnish with cilantro leaves.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Mahi-Mahi turned out dry and bland.

The pesto was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the Mahi-Mahi was cooked perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish was overcooked. I think I'll try it again with a lower temperature.

This is my go-to recipe for Mahi-Mahi. The fish is always moist and flaky, and the pesto is the perfect complement. I highly recommend this recipe.
