I love fish since I grew up eating it every day! That is one thing I miss being in the USA. I am spoilt since we had fresh catch everyday, and now I know exactly when the fish is not fresh. Which makes it harder to find fish that I like. I have tried to explore many fish markets in the USA to find fish that is palatable. I have found only a few that I really like and do not smell fishy, literally. One such fish is Mahi Mahi. Even though on the pricier side, this meaty fish is wholesome and delicious. This recipe is my own invention where I have tried to use Italian inspired ingredients. It is a balanced high protein meal that will leave you satisfied.

What you will need:

How to make it:

Prep:

• Cut the broccoli into medium sized florets. 
• Wash, peel and cut the potatoes potatoes into cubes. 
• Peel the pearl onion and cut into two halves. If you do not have pearl onions, you can dice one large regular onion instead. 
• Season the Mahi Mahi fillet with a pinch of salt and pepper. 

For the sauce:

• Heat oil in a vessel.
• Once hot, add wheat flour and roast for 30 sec.
• Add the dry Italian herbs and roast for another 30 sec.
• Add warm milk and stir well until there are no lumps. You can use a whisk and it helps with the process. 
• Add the tomato paste and capers.
• Add salt and pepper as well.
• Mix everything well and let it come to a boil. Stir frequently to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom.
• The sauce will begin to thicken up.
• Turn the flame off and set aside.

For the sides:

• Heat oil in a skilled (cast iron works the best).
• Add the potatoes and let them turn golden brown on each side. Cook until done. Remove and keep in a keep warm container. 
• Add broccoli and sauté for 3 minutes until you get a char on it. Remove and keep in a keep warm container. 
• Add the pearl onions and cook until they form a caramelized layer on the outside. If using regular onions, cook until they brown and caramelize. 

For the fish:

• Heat oil the same skillet. 
• Add the fish and fry until golden brown on both the sides. 
• Tip: Do not overcook the fish. It takes no more than 2 minutes on each side. 

Put it all together:

• On a serving plate, arrange the sides.
• Place the fish and pour the sauce over it.
• Enjoy!
