Backyard BBQ Mahi

Posted by Delightfully Doable on 24 June, 2014 None comments

This backyard BBQ Mahi adds a little taste of sweet and spicy. We love Mahi in our household especially because we buy it from Costco with individually wrapped fillets.

I’m all about healthy, quick and easy clean up. :)

Ingredients:

4 Mahi Fillets
4 tbsp butter
1 tbsp Backyard BBQ seasoning
1 tsp paprika
Dash of garlic salt

On a foil lined broiler pan, place fillets with seasoning sprinkled evenly amongst the four fillets. Place 1 tbsp butter on each fillet.

Bake at 375 degrees and cook for 8-10 minutes or until flaky.

Serve with rice and vegetables.

Grilled Mahi and Corn on the Cob

Yummy!

Grilled Mahi and Corn on the Cob. Easy, delicious, healthy and most of all…..easy clean up.

I’ve become quite the grill master lately and have really enjoyed it. Makes your food taste great and is easier than I had expected.

This is a meal the whole family with love, as you can see, my little boy loves it as well. :)

Ingredients:

4 Mahi fillets
4 Corn on the cob, shucked
1 White or Yellow Onion, sliced
Dill
Garlic Salt
Salt & Pepper
EVOO
Butter

As you can see I didn’t give exact measurements for the seasoning. I prefer to do seasoning to desired preference. Also, depending on the size of the fillet you may want a little more or a little less. :)

For easy clean up I wrap each corn and fillet individually in foil to allow for the flavors to seep in and stay concentrated.

Sprinkle corn with salt, pepper and garlic salt. Top with a chunk of butter and sprinkle with EVOO.

Fold foil up in somewhat of a dome. This will give easy access to check and see if the corn is done without losing all your juices.

Slice onion and sprinkle seasoning on top of Mahi. Lay onion on top and drizzle with EVOO and chunks of butter. Fold up into a dome.

Grill corn first as it will take significantly longer. Once corn is half way grilled begin cooking the fish for 5-8 minutes (depending on size) making sure not to overcook. You will want the fish to be flaky, this means it is done and not over cooked or under cooked.

Once done, open up and enjoy the aroma and enjoy this luscious, healthy meal.

Cooper LOVED this meal and LOVES seafood. He ate a whole corn on the cob by himself and shared the fish with me.

Cooper being a big boy using adults silverware and feeding himself. :)

Makes for great leftovers if you can make it last that long. :)

Seafood Alfredo

After our lovely Costco Trip I made a yummy seafood pasta dish for dinner the following night. Boy was it AMAZING! My husband absolutely couldn’t stop talking about it. He loved the white sauce and acted as if I have never made this dish before. I was grateful for his happiness but was beyond concerned why he thought it tasted so much better than previously. (I am choosing to believe it’s because our family has been deprived of good food since I refused to shop until our Costco trip)

So here is the delicious recipe my husband can’t stop talking about:

Ingredients:

1 lb mushrooms, sliced
½ lb asparagus, chopped
½ lb tofu (omit if you do not prefer)
1 lb large shrimp
1 tsp garlic salt
2 tsp parsley
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 lb linguine pasta
Cream sauce ingredients click on recipe below

De-tail the shrimp and cut tofu. Set shrimp aside.

In a large saucepan add mushrooms, asparagus and tofu. Begin cooking on medium heat.

Once they begin to cook, add seasoning and shrimp. Cook until no longer pink.

Remove from heat and add creamy sauce.

Meanwhile cook pasta according to package instructions and toss all together.

Serve with garlic bread and Caesar salad.

Hickory Smoked Mahi

Posted by Delightfully Doable on 11 February, 2014 None comments

This meal has become one of my favorite meals to date. The delicious flavors wrapped in the sweet crunch of bacon- awe Yes bacon completes this meal. The homemade smoked hickory rub gave the mahi the greatest flavor. Beyond healthy in an unexpected way. Most the time I feel “healthy” meals are not satisfying to my soul, well this my friend accomplishes those feelings.

I buy my fish from Costco as they have very good products with no added hormones and so on and so forth. I had two pieces remaining for last nights dinner and sought out to make it the last best meal. Mission accomplished… this meal was fabulous and the best part of all was it was so simply!

Ingredients:

Mahi
Bacon, uncooked
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp Caribbean jerk
Salt and pepper
Cauliflower
¼ cup shredded cheese, for topping

Cut Mahi into serving size if not already done. Pat dry.

In a small bowl combine cinnamon, coriander, paprika, garlic salt, Caribbean jerk and salt and pepper.

Dip Mahi into seasoning- coating every side.

Take bacon and wrap around the fish, I used 4 pieces per serving as we are bacon lovers.

Place on a broiling pan. This helps to catch the bacon grease.

Bake at 400 degree for 20-25 minutes or until flaky.

Serve with fresh garden salad and steamed cauliflower topped with cheese.

Foil Baked Mahi & Mac N Cheese

Posted by Delightfully Doable on 18 January, 2014 1 comments

Wondering what to have for dinner tonight? Well tonight’s dinner is foil baked Mahi Mahi with a sweet glaze, homemade macaroni n cheese with sautéed veggies.

The mac n cheese I made actually wasn’t my true mac n cheese. I made noodles the other night for Cooper to have with his dinner and decided to use the remainder of them tonight. I simply added parmesan cheese, shredded American, Colby and sharp cheese. Simple and delicious.

Foil baked Mahi is one of the better ways to cook this fish as it can tend to dry out pretty easily if slightly over baked or under baked. Not the easiest to cook or shall I say I’m not the best fish baker. :)

Ingredients:

Mahi Foil Bake

Mahi Mahi
1 Sliced onion
4 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro
4 tbsp butter
Prickly pear marmalade (any jam or glaze will work)

Place thawed mahi on a piece of foil and layer with above ingredients.

Fold foil up to help hold juices in.

Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until no longer pink

My aunt got this for us from AZ

Mac N’ Cheese

3 cups cooked Elbow Macaroni
2 cups shredded cheese blend
1 cup parmesan cheese
3 tbsps butter
Salt and Pepper to taste

Cook Macaroni according to package instructions. Add butter and cheese and mix well. Add dash of salt and pepper to taste. Pretty simple for a side dish.

Sautéed Veggie Mix

1 cup chopped Brussels Sprouts
1 cup chopped red, orange, and yellow peppers
1 chopped onion
½ cup chopped chorizo
Evoo
Salt and Pepper to taste

In a fry pan sauté vegetables until crisp and too perfection. Overcooking is easy to do and also sucks all the nutrients out of them as well. No one enjoys soft and mushy vegetables.

When you begin to cook them remember to not over stir. Fry for 4 minutes on med-low heat, toss vegetables and fry another 4 minutes. This will help glaze vegetables with a slight crispy bite. Not to hard, not to soft.
