Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Rice Pilaf

In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

2. Add Rice

Add the rice to the saucepan and stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes until the rice is slightly toasted.

3. Simmer

Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

4. Prepare the Vegetables

While the rice is cooking, slice the zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.

5. Season the Mahi

Rub the Mahi Mahi fillets with Cajun seasoning and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

6. Grill the Mahi

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the Mahi Mahi for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through and flaky.

7. Grill the Vegetables

In a separate grill basket or on skewers, toss the vegetables with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and charred.

8. Assemble the Dish

On a plate, serve the rice pilaf as the base, top with grilled Mahi and arrange the grilled vegetables on the side. Garnish with chopped parsley.
