Seared Mahi Mahi with Fresh Herb Sauce

 

Got this recipe from Paleo Leap, an Instagram I love following.  She suggests cod, which I love, but I had Mahi Mahi in my freezer (from Trader Joe's) so that's what I used. I ate this over zoodles (zucchini noodles) and LOVED it! The leftovers were also absolutely amazing.

Ingredients:

• 4 filets of white fish
• 1 tbsp. fresh parsley, minced
• 1 tbsp. fresh thyme
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 shallot, minced
• 1/2 lemon zest
• 3/4 c. coconut milk
• 6 Tbsp. avocado oil (or ghee)
• 4 zucchinis, spiralized
• S&P

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Sprinkle salt and pepper over fish
3. In a bowl, combine oil, garlic, shallots, and herbs 
   
4. Preheat a skillet over medium/high heat
5. Pour herb oil in skillet and cook fish for 2 minutes on each side 
   
6. Transfer fish to baking sheet and cook for 7 minutes
7. While fish is cooking, add zoodles to pan and cook for a few minutes
8. Pour coconut milk and lemon zest in skillet and bring to simmer
9. Scrape the bottom of the pan to get the good stuff at the bottom!
10. Serve with zoodles, sauce, and fish

Leftovers were also amazing!  

Enjoy!
