1 large Spanish onion, chopped
Three (12-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Sherry vinegar, to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pineapple, cored, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rings
1 mango, peeled, pitted, and chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon peeled, minced fresh ginger
1 jalapeno, or to taste, chopped
1 to 2 limes, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Six 6-ounce mahi mahi fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 limes, zested
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 Spanish onion
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves
3 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves picked
2 large cloves garlic
1 jalapeno, stemmed and chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the Green Rice: Combine the water and rice in saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Season the water with salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, until tender, about 20 minutes. Set the rice aside, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chimichurri. Set aside, covered, until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, make the Black Beans: Heat the oil in the saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the bell pepper and onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in the black beans and sugar. Bring to boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Set aside, covered, until ready to use.
  • Make the Salsa: Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Grill the pineapple rings, turning once, until charred, about 2 minutes. Transfer the rings to a cutting board and chop.
  • In a bowl, combine the pineapple, mango, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, olive oil, ginger, jalapeno, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. (The salsa can be prepared up to 2 days in advance.)
  • Make the mahi mahi: Arrange the fillets in baking pan, season with salt and pepper, and rub with the zest. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Raise the heat to high and heat the butter and oil. Working in batches, if necessary, sear the halibut fillets, turning once, until well browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Divide the rice and beans among the center of 6 plates, top with the fillets, and spoon some the salsa over each.
  • In a food processor, pulse the onion until finely chopped but not pureed. Transfer the onion to a bowl. Add the olive oil, parsley, cilantro, oregano leaves, garlic, and lime juice and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer the herb mixture to the bowl of onion and stir to combine. Season the chimichurri with salt and pepper.

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Vegetable oil, for the pan
1 shallot, finely diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups coconut milk
1 cup short-grain rice
Neutral oil, for the pan
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece ginger, grated
1 teaspoon sambal
Kosher salt
3 scallion ends, finely chopped
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 lime, zest and juice
Olive oil, for the pan
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 fillets mahi-mahi

Steps:

  • For the coconut rice: Heat the oil in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add the shallots and salt and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk and rice and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and cover with a lid. Cook for about 15 minutes. Remove lid and fluff the rice.
  • For the pineapple glaze: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add oil to coat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Be sure to stir often because the sugars will burn quickly! Then add the sambal and salt. Add the scallions and cook until soft, about 2 more minutes. Then, add the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard and lime juice and zest. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook until reduced by one-quarter and thick and glossy, about 10 minutes.
  • For the mahi-mahi and peppers: Heat a grill pan to medium high. Coat the grill pan in olive oil. Add the peppers and onions and cook until browned, slightly charred and beginning to soften. Move the peppers to the side of the grill pan. Add a bit more olive oil. Salt the mahi-mahi on both sides. Sear the fish on each side until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Coat the mahi-mahi with the pineapple glaze using a pastry brush. Flip the fish and coat generously on the reverse side. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and serve with the coconut rice and grilled peppers. Aloha!
