STEAMED MAHI MAHI WITH VEGETABLES AND GARLIC MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• In a high-sided skillet over medium heat, add the canola oil. When it is hot toss in half the onion (reserve other half for the online Round 2 Recipe Grilled Chicken and Apple Wraps) and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. (Reserve 4 pieces each of squash, and zucchini for the online Round 2 Recipe Grilled Chicken and Apple Wraps.) Add the remaining squash and zucchini, mushrooms, and broth and season with salt and pepper. Place the fish on the vegetables and top each piece with a sprig of thyme. Season the fish with salt and pepper, cover, and steam until the fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the fish to a plate and cover to keep warm. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon to a bowl and cover to keep warm. Turn the heat to high and let the broth bubble, add the garlic and mustard and let cook until the sauce reduces and thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
• Spoon the vegetables onto a plate and top with a piece of fish. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve.

SEARED MAHI-MAHI WITH MANGO SAUCE AND FRAGRANT RICE

Steps:

• For the rice: Combine the rice and water together in a large saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook the rice for 20 minutes.
• For the sauce: Peel the mango and slice the flesh off the pit. Dice the mango flesh.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the mango, cilantro, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.

• Rub the fish fillets with the oil, salt, and pepper. Place in the hot pan and sear until golden on 1 side, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Turn the fish over and cook until cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the fish. You'll know the fish is done when the flesh springs back. Remove the fish to a plate.
• When the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently stir in the cilantro and scallions. Season with salt, to taste.
• Place a mound of rice on each plate. Top with mahi-mahi. Spoon the mango sauce over each fillet and top with chopped scallions. Drizzle the liquid from the mango sauce around the rice.
