This Mahi Mahi with Tomato Lemon Sauce is an easy to make one pan dish that takes just 20-minutes to prepare. The mahi mahi is pan seared until golden in colour and then smothered in a garlic, onion, tomato and lemon sauce.

  • 4 Mahi Mahi Fillets
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter or ghee (or coconut oil for dairy free)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2/3 cup finely diced shallots
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp chopped basil

  • Using a paper towel, pat the mahi mahi fillets dry on both sides before generously seasoning them with salt and pepper.

  • Heat the olive oil and butter/ghee in a large skillet on medium high heat. Once hot add in the mahi mahi fillets and leave them to cook untouched for 3 minutes until they are golden brown in colour and then flip them over and cook for an additional 3 minutes on the other side. Set the cooked mahi mahi aside on a plate.

  • Add the tomatoes to the pan and leave them to cook for 4 minutes until they begin to blister and then add in the diced shallots and garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  • Next add the chicken stock, white wine vinegar and lemon juice to the pan, bring to a simmer and leave to cook for 4 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest and chopped basil. Return the mahi mahi fillets to the pan. Spoon the sauce overtop each fillet before serving.
