Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Quinoa and Farro

    Rinse the quinoa and farro under cold water. Cook quinoa and farro according to package instructions, typically using a 2:1 water-to-grain ratio. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Grill the Asparagus

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Lemon Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mahi Mahi

    Season the mahi-mahi fillets with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the cooked quinoa and farro blend, top with grilled asparagus, and place the mahi-mahi fillets on top. Drizzle the lemon garlic butter over the fish and serve immediately.
