Mahimahi With Potato Risotto And Mixed Peppercorn Recipes

MAHI MAHI WITH POTATO RISOTTO AND MIXED PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• For RISOTTO:.
• Combine potatoes, stock, wine and garlic in medium nonstick skillet over high heat. Boil until almost all liquid evaporates and potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Mix in Parmesan cheese and butter. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature).
• FOR FISH:.
• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Heat oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Season fish on both sides with salt and half of peppercorns. Add to skillet; cook 5 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven and bake fish until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer fish to plate. Tent with foil to keep warm. Place same skillet over medium heat. Add brandy and boil 30 seconds, (mixture may ignite). Add stock, cream and remaining crushed peppercorns and boil until reduced to 1cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 Tablespoon butter. Season to taste with salt.
• Meanwhile, rewarm risotto over low heat. Divide between 2 plates. Top with fish and spoon sauce over.

SEARED MAHI-MAHI WITH SAFFRON RISOTTO AND MANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel the mango, cut into slices, and drop into the feed tube of a running blender to puree. Add the rice wine vinegar, cilantro, garlic, ginger, water, oil, mustard, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and set aside.
• Bring chicken stock to a simmer. In a separate large saucepan on an adjacent burner, heat the olive oil and add the shallots and the rice. Lightly saute: you actually are toasting the rice. Cook until the rice becomes translucent and the shallots become soft, stirring constantly. Add the white wine to deglaze the pan. Begin slowly adding the warm stock, 1 ladle-full at a time, to the rice pan, stirring as you go. This will bring out the starch in the rice and make the mixture creamy. As the mixture absorbs the broth, ladle more into the pot. When the first ladle of stock has been absorbed into the rice, add the pinch of saffron. When all of the stock has been ladled into the rice pot, slowly simmer until the rice is soft and creamy. Stir the butter into the risotto for more flavor and creaminess. Set aside, keeping warm until needed.
• Heat a saute pan for the fish. Rub fish fillets with oil, salt and pepper. Place in pan, skin side facing up. Turn the fish over after 3 to 4 minutes. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until done. Do not overcook the fish. It is done when the flesh springs back. Remove the fish to a utility platter. Place a mound of risotto on each plate. Top with mahi-mahi. Drizzle some mango sauce around the plate and top with chopped scallions.

MAHIMAHI WITH CRISPY POTATOES

Steps:

• Pat the mahimahi dry with paper towels and season with salt & pepper. Place 1 mahimahi fillet on top of each potato pile. Top with butter pieces, thyme sprigs and lemon slices on top. Return to oven and continue to bake until fish flakes when poked with knife, about 15 minutes.
