Cooking mahi mahi with a mix of vegetables may seem complex, but I developed this skillet recipe to bring out the wow factor without the hassle and fuss. —Solomon Wang, Arlington, Texas
Mahi Mahi & Veggie Skillet Recipe photo by Taste of Home
1 large sweet onion, cut into thick rings and separated
1/3 cup lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
1/3 cup pine nuts, optional
Directions
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add fillets; cook until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove from pan.
Add remaining oil, peppers, mushrooms, onion, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, covered, over medium heat until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, 6-8 minutes.
Place fish over vegetables; sprinkle with pepper and remaining salt. Cook, covered, until heated through, about 2 minutes longer. Sprinkle with chives and, if desired, pine nuts before serving.

I did not have mushrooms, so made this without. My husband and I both enjoyed the dish, it almost felt like a dish you would find in a restaurant.

Good Mahi recipe. I used Mahi and left off the pine nuts.

I also used tilapia and this dish was excellent. Easy to make and very tasty. I served it with rice and green beans.

Everyone loved this meal! They want me to make it again! Very easy to make and flavorful. I didn't have mahi so I used tilapia.

Like the reviewer before me, I didn't have mahi mahi either and also used tilapia, with equally good results. I cut the recipe way down for just one serving, using one fillet, and smaller portions of the veggies. And, I added some capers. And, I had a small bit of tartar sauce for dipping the fish. I like rice with fish, so that was my side. I like the flavors of the sauted veggies with the fish. Excellent.

Simple and Delicious! I did not have Mahi Mahi, so I substituted Talapia! I didn't have lemon juice, so I squeezed 1 lemon in it's place - about 2 Tbsp. Other than that, I followed the recipe, exactly! This will be a family favorite. Thanks for sharing.
