Ingredients
- 2 filets Mahi Mahi skin removed
- 3 tablespoon Olive oil divided
- ½ teaspoon Ground cumin + ¼ tsp, divided
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes halved longways
- 2 cloves Garlic thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoon Cilantro chopped
- 1 Lime juiced
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400º F.
- In a large, oven-safe pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic slices and sauté until slightly soft and fragrant, but not browned, about 30 seconds.
- Add the halved tomatoes, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon cumin, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tomatoes have released their juices and almost completely collapsed.
- Remove the tomatoes from the pan completely and place in a small bowl. Add half of the cilantro and the juice of 1 lime to the tomatoes in the bowl and stir to combine.
- Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
- Pat the mahi filet completely dry, then season with salt and ¼ teaspoon cumin.
- Add 2 tablespoon olive oil to the pan and heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the mahi and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until browned, without moving the fish around.
- Once both sides are browned, turn off the heat. Add the tomato-cilantro mixture back into the pan, surrounding the browned fish.
- Place the pan in the oven at 400ºF for about 5 minutes, until golden on top and cooked through, making sure not to overcook.
- Garnish with remaining chopped cilantro.
Notes
- Mahi Mahi is best when it is not overcooked. For accuracy, use an instant read meat thermometer and cook the fish until around 140º F.
- This dish would pair well with plain jasmine rice or some pearled couscous.
- Feel free to substitute cilantro and lime juice with parsley/chives and lemon juice for a slightly different flavor profile.
