Mahi Mahi this fresh is in a class of its own.  Melts like butter in your mouth with delicious flavor.  This was so good!

Nice to be home after some travel.  Always love fresh Hawaii fish that we are so lucky to have in abundance here.  Mahi Mahi with a White Wine and Shallot sauce served with Roasted Squash, Onions, Mushrooms and Brussels Sprouts.  Delicious!

MAHI MAHI AND SASHIMI

DINNER AT HOME

This dinner of Fresh Mahi Mahi and Sashimi was the bomb.  Ten times better than the $80 per person buffet at the Hyatt.  The Mahi was on sale so this meal for three cost less than $40.  The fresh Ahi was expensive at $42 per pound so this little block was $18.  Made a simple sauce using Butter, White Wine, Chicken Stock, Heavy Cream and Capers.  Restaurant quality at home and so delicious!

DINNER AT HOME

This simple preparation of Mahi Mahi was incredible.  Restaurant quality at home.  I watched an episode of No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain featuring Chef Joel Robuchon and he prepared a fish in a pan with lots of butter.  Spooning it over the fish while cooking.  I finished the dish with fresh vegetables and a Shallot Cream Sauce.

This fresh Mahi Mahi with Spinach Salad was delicious.  Seems like I only order fresh fish at Nico's and seldom have I been disappointed.

FRESH MAHI MAHI WITH BOK CHOY

DINNER AT HOME

Fresh Mahi Mahi went down in price this week so I grabbed some for dinner.  When Mahi Mahi is this fresh, you really just need to sauté or grill it with salt and pepper and maybe a light sauce.

MAHI MAHI WITH PAPAYA SALSA

DINNER AT HOME

We eat a lot of Mahi Mahi living in Hawaii.  Search this blog and you will find dozens of posts on Mahi Mahi preparations.  Of all the Mahi Mahi I have ever eaten at home or in restaurants, this was the ABSOLUTE BEST.  Probably because the Mahi Mahi was caught the day before by a friend who gave us the fish.  I made a simple Beurre Blanc sauce with White Wine, Shallots, Cream, Lemon Juice and Butter.  Topped with a Papaya Salsa with a touch of Balsamic Glaze.

MAHI MAHI WITH AVOCADO BUTTER

DINNER AT HOME

My Wife loves the Swordfish with Avocado Butter served at the Brigantine in Del Mar, CA.

I wanted to replicate the dish for her but could not find fresh Swordfish at the market.  They did have fresh Mahi Mahi at the crazy price of $29 per pound though.  I bought the Mahi despite the high price as it was the best fish available at this time.  Marinated the fish in a mixture of Oil, Soy Sauce, Garlic and Lemon Juice.  Made the Avocado Butter by mixing together Butter, Avocado, Lime Juice, Garlic, Salt and Parsley.  This dish came out amazing and the fresh Mahi was delicious.  The Avocado Butter was a hit with the Wife too!

DINNER AT HOME

Enjoyed a super fresh Hawaii Mahi Mahi dinner with some great bok choy, carrots and bell peppers.

Made a quick Beurre Blanc Sauce and added fresh thyme.  Pan seared the Mahi Mahi on a Grill Pan indoors and then finished it in the oven.  This meal was restaurant quality and delicious.  So lucky we live in Hawaii where fresh fish is abundant and delicious.  I know so many people who do not eat fresh fish because they have never really tried it.  If it is not fried they won't touch it.  Eat fresh fish.  It is healthy and delicious when cooked properly.
