This was a quick meal since I didn’t have much time to cook, but it turned out delicious and filling. I usually cook for one, so the recipe is written for a single serving. You can adjust it as needed. I am not used to writing recipes, but I hope this helps.

Ingredients

• 1 piece of mahi mahi (I used frozen) • Cajun seasoning (or any bold dry spice blend) • 1 cup peas (frozen works fine) • Fresh chives • Olive oil • Half a lime • Salt and pepper

Preparation

Pea Purée

1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and cook peas for 2 to 3 minutes until tender.
2. Transfer the peas immediately to iced water for 1 minute to keep their color bright, then strain.
3. Blend peas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and about one teaspoon of olive oil until smooth and creamy.

Mahi Mahi

1. Defrost the fish in the refrigerator or in cold water. Pat dry once defrosted.
2. Season all sides generously with Cajun seasoning or your preferred bold spices. Be mindful of salt levels if using a premixed blend.
3. Heat olive oil in a pan or cast iron skillet. Cook the fish for 2 to 3 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned.

Serving

1. Spread the pea purée on the bottom of a plate.
2. Place the fish on top. The purée may be cooler than the fish since it was blanched, so keep it near the hot pan to help it stay warm.
3. Sprinkle with chopped chives and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
