Fish

Method

Preparation of Vegetables

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare Baby Potatoes

    Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half. In a large bowl, toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well coated.

  3. 3

    Prepare Carrots and Zucchini

    Peel the carrots and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Cut the zucchini into rounds. Add them to the bowl with the potatoes and toss with another tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Roast the Vegetables

    Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden, tossing halfway through the cooking time.

Preparation of Fish

  1. 5

    Prepare the Mahi-mahi

    While the vegetables are roasting, brush the mahi-mahi fillets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 6

    Grill the Fish

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the mahi-mahi for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 7

    Make the Lemon-Garlic Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic (finely chop the garlic cloves) and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon and stir to combine.

  4. 8

    Serve the Dish

    Once the fish is done grilling, plate the mahi-mahi and drizzle with the lemon-garlic butter sauce. Serve alongside the roasted vegetables and snap peas.
