Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup white wine
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (12 ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.

Categories     main-dish

Time 17m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves plus 2 sprigs for garnish
Two 5- to 6-ounce mahi-mahi fillets
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mixed greens, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the garlic and olive in a small microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic, and microwave on HIGH until the garlic is soft and aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. (Alternatively, heat the oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until the garlic is softened.) Stir in the lime juice, cilantro leaves, and salt. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Prepare an outdoor grill to medium high heat. Brush the fillets all over with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Lay the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and leave it until you can lift the fish without it sticking to the grill and there are distinct grill marks, about 5 minutes. (Test it by gently lifting a corner--if it sticks, cook it a bit longer and try again). Carefully turn the fish over and cook until firm to the touch, about another 5 minutes.
  • Place a bed of greens on 2 plates. Divide the fish between the plates and brush with some of the mojo. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve with the sauce.
