GRILLED MAHI MAHI
This recipe is great either on the grill or in the oven broiler. The tomatoes give it a little bite. My entire family loves it, even my pickiest eater. In the winter I make this dish in my oven or broiler. The amounts I gave are approximate. I use two cans of tomatoes when I want more 'bite,' only one can when I want less. I like a lot of garlic so I generally use a lot.

GRILLED MAHI MAHI WITH CAPER, TOMATO, BEARNAISE SAUCE
The first time I made this I used packaged bearnaise sauce, It was quick and good however it doesn't compare to real bearnaise sauce with fresh tarragon. Only warm the tomatoes do not cook them. For a real taste treat combo serve this with barbecued bacon wrapped asparagus.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh mahi-mahi fillets. If you can't find mahi-mahi, you can substitute another firm white fish, such as cod or halibut.
- Be sure to season the fish fillets generously with salt and pepper before grilling. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
- Don't overcook the fish. Mahi-mahi is a delicate fish, so it cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
- Serve the grilled mahi-mahi immediately with the lemon butter caper sauce and orzo salad. The sauce is delicious spooned over the fish, and the salad is a refreshing accompaniment.

This grilled mahi-mahi recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish.
