Mahi Mahi

Poblano Dressing

Fried Hominy

Method

Mahi Mahi Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate Mahi Mahi

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, Al Pastor seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Coat the Mahi Mahi fillets with this mixture and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill Mahi Mahi

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated Mahi Mahi fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through and have nice grill marks. Remove from heat and let rest.

Poblano Dressing

  1. 3

    Roast Poblano Peppers

    Char the poblano peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is blackened. Place them in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for about 10 minutes. Peel off the skins, remove seeds, and chop.

  2. 4

    Make Dressing

    In a blender, combine roasted poblano peppers, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Fried Hominy

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Fry Hominy

    Add the hominy to the hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and drain on paper towels.

Pineapple Chutney

  1. 7

    Combine Chutney Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix fresh diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir to combine and let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Plating

  1. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    On each plate, place a portion of grilled Mahi Mahi, drizzle with poblano dressing, and top with fried hominy. Add a generous scoop of pineapple chutney on the side and garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced radishes.
