Grilled Mahi Mahi is easy to make, and you just need a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. We serve it over a bed of whole-wheat couscous, which offers more B vitamin and fiber than its stripped semolina counterpart.
Mahi Mahi with Pineapple & Red Peppers
Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided
- 1 cup whole-wheat couscous
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 4 4-oz boneless, skinless mahi mahi fillets
- 1/4 tsp each sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
Preparation
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 1/3 cups broth to a boil on high heat. Stir in couscous. Remove from heat immediately, cover and let sit for 5 minutes, until liquid is absorbed.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil on medium-high. Season both sides of mahi mahi with salt and black pepper. Add mahi mahi to skillet and cook for 1 minute per side, until golden. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add pineapple and bell pepper to skillet and cook on medium-high for 2 minutes, until soft, stirring occasionally. Stir in cooked couscous, remaining 1 cup broth, and chives and mix well. Arrange mahi mahi on top of couscous mixture, cover with foil and cook for 2 minutes, until mahi mahi is tender and steaming under foil.
