Had the most amazing mahi mahi with limoncello sauce at a great Italian restaurant, the chef gave me hints of what was in the sauce, so i experimented, tweeked and lots of samplings later,,here it is..sooo wonderful.

To plate..place the sauteed fish over a bed of creamed potatoes and pour the sauce over the top..I served with minted peas, fresh green beans and baked tomatoes( baked with anchovies, garlic, basil and olive oil)

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

cooking spray
1 large red bell pepper, seeds removed and pepper quartered lengthwise
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 cup husked, cored and chopped tomatillos
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 tilapia fillets
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 lemon, halved and seeds removed
1 sprig fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray with cooking spray. Place the pepper pieces cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet. Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the pepper has blackened and blistered, 5 to 10 minutes. Place the blackened pepper pieces into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the pepper to steam as it cools, about 20 minutes. Once cool, remove and discard the skins.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the tomatillos until softened, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and mix in the garlic. Cook and stir until the garlic is softened, about 1 minute. Place the hot tomatillos into a blender, and add the roasted red pepper, parsley, rice vinegar, and honey. Blend the sauce until smooth, and set aside.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, chili powder, and dried oregano. Sprinkle the fish fillets with salt and black pepper, and dredge in the flour mixture until coated.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish until browned, 2 to 3 minutes; carefully flip the fish over and cook on the other side until the meat is opaque and slightly flaky and the fish has browned, about 4 minutes.
  • Transfer fish to a serving platter. Squeeze the lemon halves over the fish, and serve with sauce. If sauce has cooled, pour into a microwave-safe bowl, and cook in microwave on medium setting until hot, about 2 minutes.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

For chile lime butter
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lime zest
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon minced fresh Thai or serrano chile (preferably red), including seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
For fish
6 (5- to 6-oz) pieces skinless tilapia fillet or farm-raised striped bass fillets with skin
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Make chile lime butter:
  • Stir together butter, shallot, zest, lime juice, chile, and salt in a bowl.
  • Prepare fish:
  • If using striped bass, score skin in 3 or 4 places with a thin sharp knife to prevent fish from curling (do not cut through flesh). Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until just smoking, then sauté 3 pieces of fish, turning over once with a spatula, until golden and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes, and transfer to a plate. Sauté remaining fish in remaining tablespoon oil in same manner.
  • Serve each piece of fish with a dollop of chile lime butter.

Tips:

  • Make sure the tilapia is patted dry before frying to prevent splattering.
  • Use a nonstick skillet to prevent the fish from sticking.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat to prevent it from overcooking.
  • Flip the fish only once during cooking to prevent it from breaking.
  • Use a fork to test the fish for doneness. When it flakes easily, it is done.
  • Serve the fish immediately with the Limoncello sauce.

Conclusion:
