Ingredients for Mahi Mahi in Cuitlacoche Sauce

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the mahi mahi 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned and just cooked through. Remove and keep warm.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add butter. Sauté minced shallot and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add cuitlacoche and corn kernels; cook for 2-3 minutes to bloom the flavors.

  5. 5

    Pour in white wine; simmer until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Stir in fish stock and heavy cream. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency, 4-6 minutes. Stir in lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Return mahi mahi to the pan, spoon sauce over, and cook 1-2 minutes to rewarm and coat the fish.

  8. 8

    Spoon remaining sauce onto plates. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
