THAI BASIL-TOMATO SALAD
Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dijon and juice. Drizzle in oil. Add the tomatoes and onion and season. Check for seasoning. Can be stored in an air tight container for up to 4 hours before serving. Right before serving, toss with the basil leaves.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Don't overcook the fish. Mahi mahi is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center.
- Make sure the pan is hot before adding the fish. This will help to sear the fish and prevent it from sticking.
- Use a light hand with the salt. Mahi mahi is a mild fish that can easily be overpowered by too much salt.
- Serve the fish immediately. Mahi mahi is best when served fresh out of the pan.
Conclusion:
Pan-seared mahi mahi with preserved lemon tomato chutney, Thai basil, and shiitake orzo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked to perfection and the chutney and orzo add a flavorful and complex touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
