Mahi Mahi with Tomatoes and Peas

by aajohannas

Right before Christmas, I usually crave fish and vegetables. I guess it’s my body preparing for the onslaught of meat, gravy and pie that is coming. The other day, I improvised this recipe and decided that I had to share it. It’s quick, easy, delicious and healthy (well, minus the bacon).

Ingredients:

• 1 piece mahi mahi
• 1 slice of bacon
• ~15 cherry tomatoes
• 1 small clove of garlic
• A handful of peas
• 1/4 cup white wine
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Oregano

Start by frying the bacon, on medium heat, until it is crispy. Meanwhile, chop the garlic and halve the tomatoes.

Pour the wine into a small pot and start simmering it with the garlic and a little bit of oregano. When the bacon is done, place it on a paper towel to remove excess fat. Pour out excess bacon fat from the pan, and start frying the mahi mahi, skin side down for about 3-4 minutes or until the skin is nice and crispy. Add the tomatoes to the wine and spices. Generously salt and pepper the top of the mahi mahi before flipping it over.

Let the fish finish cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Add the peas to the tomatoes and let it simmer for a few more minutes. You want the tomatoes to be cooked, but not falling apart. Place the fish and vegetable on a plate, and crumble the bacon slice over it. Enjoy!
