This is one of those dishes I whipped up in about 15 minutes not knowing what the heck I was doing. Honestly, I was on the phone with a friend chatting and all of sudden I was snapping photos of dinner.

I’ve never bought Mahi Mahi (dolphin fish) before but I’m trying eat more fish. So when I saw some frozen fillets on sale I thought I’d give them a try. I’m glad I did! It was moist and light, not a fishy taste at all.

The husband and the toddler both like this, surprising enough. Although the toddler needed to be bargained with – no cup cake until you finish your fish, kind of deal – but he ate it none the less!

I’m going to scale the recipe down for 2 servings, I made enough fish and veggies for 4 but only enough rice for 2. Just take the idea and run with it!

Ingredients

2 Mahi Mahi fillets (4 oz each)
Salt & Pepper
¼ red onion diced
Small zucchini diced
1 pepper diced (I used ½ red and ½ green)
2-3 button mushrooms sliced
Sprinkle of dried dill (about ¼ tsp)
½ teaspoon dried parsley
About 2 cups of instant brown rice (like Uncle Ben's Ready Rice Pouch, Whole Grain Brown)
Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Line a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle the Mahi Mahi with salt and pepper and bake for 10-12 minutes.

While the fish is baking, spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle the veggies with salt & pepper and sauté over medium heat until they begin to just soften. Sprinkle with the dill and parsley.

Pop the instant rice into the microwave for 90 seconds.

Put about ¾ cup of the brown rice on the center of the place, top with the cooked fish fillet. Then top with the cooked veggies. Server with a fresh lemon wedge.
