Cooking with kr00t0n - Mahi-Mahi

krooton · 3 Feb 2009 at 23:41

I wanted in on the cookery fun, so here's something I whipped up this evening with some Mahi-mahi fillets I have.

First the fillet itself:

Next I make a marinade from olive oil, chilli and lemon juice

Pour this marinade into the packet and let the fish sit for 30 mins, turning every so often

Now I was originally going to serve it with roasted courgette and tomatoes, but I couldn't get ahold of any courgettes, so I opted for a mushroom, tomato and coarsely chopped garlic combo

Chuck them in a bowl, and add a generous amount of oil and basil

Stick the fillet on a tray, and grill for roughly 5 minutes per side

I roasted the other bits as well, and served with oven chips, NOM!

Shame I couldn't get any courgettes, the green would have added to the presentation big time, hehe.

That looks pretty nice. I'd probably swap the chips for a mash of some sort though.

That looks awesome, might have to get some Mahi-mahi. Have been on the look out for different fish of late with the advent of pollock and all the cod-alternatives, good one for the list.

Agree with the above though, I'd probably have opted for garlic mash and long stem brocolli. What what /monocle.

Looks delicious, five stars to you krooton.

Love the fish and veg, not sure about having it with chips though, serve it on a bed of tagliatelle would be my choice.

Makes me want to get some fish tomorrow....Dammit!

Hehe, thanks guys, I know the chips are controversial n whatnot, but they were a means to an end with me running late and only getting home at 8pm

Plus, I save my really fancy cooking for when I am entertaining a lady

Asparagus & Hollandaise sauce would work a treat with that. Think I may try it one day next week.

Some guy on masterchef the other week cooked steak and chips and won, so it's not the end of the world

Looks damn good though, good effort.

what's mahi-mahi and do you have detailed method for making that marinade of chilli and olive oil?

GSDog · 4 Feb 2009 at 00:37

Now that does look nice. I'll have to try that soon.

Pappardelle would have been my choice but good call

Looks tasty

Sometimes, I wish I liked mushrooms. I just don't

I might get in on all this cookery stuff with a doodles famous Pizza work in progress.

Lidl were doing a deal on them at a bloody good price, £3.49 for 550g

As for the method, well, it wasn't detailed, haha.

Glugged some oil into a measuring jug, added some chillie flakes, and the juice of half a lemon.

And I think it would raise an eyebrow or two if you started taking pictures of your cullinary expertise in the presence of a date. Ha ha
