Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 red onion, sliced
1 medium yellow squash, sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1/2 (8-ounce) package sliced mushrooms
1 cup chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (4-ounce) pieces mahi mahi
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoon spicy brown mustard

Steps:

In a high-sided skillet over medium heat, add the canola oil. When it is hot toss in half the onion (reserve other half for the online Round 2 Recipe Grilled Chicken and Apple Wraps) and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. (Reserve 4 pieces each of squash, and zucchini for the online Round 2 Recipe Grilled Chicken and Apple Wraps.) Add the remaining squash and zucchini, mushrooms, and broth and season with salt and pepper. Place the fish on the vegetables and top each piece with a sprig of thyme. Season the fish with salt and pepper, cover, and steam until the fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Remove the fish to a plate and cover to keep warm. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon to a bowl and cover to keep warm. Turn the heat to high and let the broth bubble, add the garlic and mustard and let cook until the sauce reduces and thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
Spoon the vegetables onto a plate and top with a piece of fish. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups white rice
3 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
2 tablespoons minced peeled ginger
1 1/2 pounds skinless center-cut mahi mahi fillet (1 1/2 inches thick)
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper, plus more to taste
4 heads baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
2 carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 Fresno or red jalapeno chile pepper, sliced (remove seeds for less heat)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

Steps:

Cook the rice as the label directs. Meanwhile, fill a large skillet halfway with water; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Set the bottom of a stackable bamboo steamer in the water. Sprinkle the scallion whites and 1 teaspoon ginger on a plate that will fit in the steamer basket; set the fish on top and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon white pepper. Set in the steamer basket; cover and cook 8 minutes.
Line another steamer level with parchment; add the bok choy and carrots and set on top of the fish basket. Cover and cook until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 7 more minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat; add the chile, garlic, the remaining ginger and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, swirling the pan, until the garlic and ginger start browning, 2 minutes.
Remove the baskets. Drain any liquid from the fish; cut into 4 pieces. Drizzle the fish and vegetables with the chile oil and soy sauce; top with the scallion greens and season with white pepper. Serve with the rice.
