Magazine Monday - Mahi Mahi with Bacon-Tomato Butter

Welcome to Magazine Monday! I am guest hosting today for Ivonne of the blog Cream Puffs in Venice while she is on vacation. I hope you'll enjoy the roundup - I had many submissions!

Before I start with my submission and the roundup, I would like to say thank you to Brenda of Brenda's Canadian Kitchen and JonesGeneaologist for following my blog!

Yesterday it was a joint effort in cooking - Doug grilled and I prepped the rest of the meal inside.

Mahi Mahi with Bacon-Tomato Butter,



Ingredients............

2 cups water
1 TB fine sea salt
2 teaspoons sugar
4 (6 0z) Mahi Mahi fillets
1/8 teaspoon table salt
1 slice center-cut bacon, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 TB butter



Combine first three ingredients in shallow dish, stirring until salt and sugar dissolves; add fish. Let stand 20 minutes then pat dry. While the fish is sitting around, get that charcoal fire going.




The recommendation is to use a charcoal or wood fire as it imparts an intense flavor. But a gas grill lends a subtle flavor so…whatever inspires you :-)
Grill the fish; this should take about 10 minutes or to your personal taste and the intensity of the fire/heat.

Meanwhile, while Doug is standing outside, safe from mosquitoes thanks to the ThermaCELL.

I am inside, heating a small skillet and cooking bacon. After 5 minutes, I add the garlic…stirring away, I then add the paprika, the the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes. Mix it up well. Now toss that butter in the pan and the 1/8 teaspoon salt. That is all!



Place the fillets on plates and top with a bit of tomato-bacon butter. Heavenly…and it’s from Cooking Light…how awesome is that?! Bacon and butter….and it’s healthy.



Fantastically easy and unbelievably delicious!
