Roasted Mahi-Mahi

Here's another quality product from Costco. Kirkland Signature frozen Mahi-Mahi filets. They are produced by Trident foods. Mahi-Mahi is from South Pacific waters and has less than 100 calories and 1 gram of fat per serving. The filets are center cut, boneless, skinless and individually vacuum packed. Here I simply roasted the filets with a little paprika and lime chive butter.

 

Ingredients:

Kirkland Signature Mahi-Mahi filets

4 tablespoons butter

Juice from 1 lime

1 teaspoon dries chives

1 cup rice

2 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

 

Preparation:

Cook the rice according to instructions, which is 1 cup rice, 2 cups water and some salt.

 

Properly defrost the Mahi-Mahi by removing the filets from the packaging. Place a couple paper towels on a plate and then the filets and then another layer of paper towels. Wrap in plastic wrap and let sit on the kitchen counter until defrosted, about 5 hours. You can also do this a day in advance and let the filets defrost in the refrigerator overnight.  

 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Use a small glass bowl or other microwave proof bowl and add the butter. Soften the butter in the microwave for 30 seconds and add the juice from the lime and chives. Reserve some of the lime chive butter for plating. 

 

Take a baking pan and line with foil. place the filets on the baking pan and sprinkle on a little paprika. Next, spread on some lime chive butter and place into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes.

 

To serve, place a portion of rice onto a serving plate. Add a Mahi-Mahi filet and top with some reserved lime chive butter. Garnish with a couple wedges of lime and chopped Italian parsley.
