Mahi-Mahi Stir Fry

In our household we try and eat relatively healthily, with the odd treat here and there, but a balanced diet is our priority, therefore we like to eat fish at least once a week.  We also try and eat locally sourced food, raised in 'natural' conditions, but on a budget!  This is a challenge to say the least!

Trying to find any fish at the grocery store that is wild caught, 'local' and less than $10 per pound is not an easy task...but this week I found mahi-mahi - which we love!  I, however have never cooked it in my life (it doesn't even exist in the UK!) so yet again when it comes to fish I deferred to Captain America to save the day.....well cook the dinner at least!

Might I add it was a joint venture, while he was running at the gym (I don't run, I refuse on principal....unless I am running for my life in which case I would probably die as I am very out of practice!) I prepped all the fish and the vegetables and took the pictures :-)

Spicy Snapper

I like to make up recipes!  I hate following them.  Here is one I created last night, and we really enjoyed it so I decided to share it with you.

I had some snapper, and when it comes to fish, I'm not an expert by any means.  I know how to cook salmon well, but all other fish elude me.  I googled some recipes for inspiration, as usual, but nothing took my fancy.

The thing about fish is that it's very easy to overwhelm the lightness of the fish with too much flavor, something I have 'successfully' manage to do many times. Seeing that Todd has seen straight through my "if in doubt smother it in pesto" way of handling fish, I needed to find something better and different.....and I think I have found it.

If you are not a fan of hot and spicy foods, don't let the title put you off - it is flavorful without being hot!
