Mahi Mahi with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce

Ingredients:

Fish:

4-5 mahi mahi fillets, 4-6 oz. each, 1-inch thick

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Spice Rub:

3 tablespoons flour

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp paprika

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce:

3 tablespoons minced shallots

3-4 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 tsp dried parsley

1/2 tsp dried thyme

2 tablespoons lemon juice (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish (Optional):

Freshly chopped chives

Directions:

Mix together all Spice Rub ingredients in a medium bowl. Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry and rub the spices

into the fish evenly.

In a large heavy-bottom skillet, melt the butter with olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the

fillets, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for about 4 minutes. Flip the fillets and continue to cook for

an additional 2-4 minutes until the desired doneness is achieved. Remove the fish to a plate and tent

with foil to keep warm.

Drain excess oil from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add shallots and sauté, scraping up any

browned bits from the pan, for about 2 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook for another 30

seconds.

Whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch, then add to the skillet along with the heavy cream,

lemon juice, thyme, and parsley. Simmer until the sauce is reduced by half and slightly thickened, about

4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting lemon juice if needed.

Return the mahi mahi fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fish. Garnish with chives if using.

Serve immediately with a side of rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
