TOMATO BASIL MAHI MAHI
I came up with this because I wanted something healthy, easy, and fast. I've mad it several times with great results! Any firm white fish will work. I make it for one, but it can easily be made for any number of people. I have made this "south beach" style with sauted spinach and mushrooms as a side, or served it over pasta with white wine sauce as a more hearty "non-diet" meal.

PAN SEARED MAHI-MAHI WITH PRESERVED LEMON-TOMATO CHUTNEY THAI BASIL-SHIITAKE ORZO
Steps:
- On a dinner plate, mix together the flour, tumeric and cumin. Season the fillets with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour mixture. In a large saute pan on high heat, coat lightly with oil and pan sear the fillets until brown on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes a side. Let fish rest 5 minutes to carry over before serving. In a medium, non-reactive saucepan on medium heat, coat lightly with oil and saute the onions and ginger until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the preserved lemons, tomatoes and juice. Season and check for flavor. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until tomatoes are melted. Pull off stove and keep at room temperature. Check again for seasoning. Add the parsley right before serving.
- In a large saute pan, coat with olive oil and saute the garlic and shallots until soft, about 2 minutes. Season and add shiitakes. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes until soft and deglaze with wine. Reduce by 50 percent then add orzo to heat thoroughly. Right before serving, stir in basil oil.
- PLATING: Place a small mound of orzo in the middle of the white dinner plate. Top with fillet of Mahi and top the fish with the chutney. Drizzle some basil oil and garnish with parsley.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh mahi-mahi fillets. If you can't find mahi-mahi, you can substitute another mild-flavored white fish, such as cod or tilapia.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the mahi-mahi in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to cook it for a few minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- To make the tomato basil sauce, you can use fresh or canned tomatoes. If you are using canned tomatoes, be sure to drain them well before adding them to the sauce.
- You can also add other vegetables to the tomato basil sauce, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
- Serve the mahi-mahi with rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
This tomato basil mahi-mahi recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this mild-flavored fish. The tomato basil sauce is light and flavorful, and the mahi-mahi is cooked to perfection. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
