Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Cook the white rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.

  2. 2

    Season the Mahi Mahi

    Rub the Mahi Mahi fillets with lemon pepper seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Grill the Mahi Mahi

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and grill the Mahi Mahi fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to medium-well. Remove from the grill and keep warm.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the julienned carrots, sliced green pepper, Fresno chili, and red onion. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the chopped cilantro at the end.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Broccoli

    In a separate pot, steam or sauté the broccoli florets until bright green and tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    On a plate, serve a portion of the seasoned white rice, top with the grilled Mahi Mahi, and spoon the sautéed vegetables over the fish. Add the sautéed broccoli on the side.
