Mahi Mahi with Creamy Green Sauce

December 8, 2011 by Jaida 3 Comments

It seems that winter has finally (maybe) decided to set in on Central Texas, and I have mixed feelings about that. On one hand, I did just buy a ton of sweaters, and I need cold weather to wear them in. But on the other hand, I hate cold weather!! This weekend and for the upcoming week it is going to be cold and rainy. I’m not a fan of either type of weather on their own, but combine them and I’m in Hell. Granted, Texas needs the rain, desperately, but it’s so danged dreary outside that it’s hard to be productive. I’m trying, but leaving the house to go to the gym (or anywhere else) when it’s drizzly, cold, and miserable outside is not on the top of my priorities list.
On the night that I made this dish, I actually had another recipe planned. One somewhat similar, but I had a spark of creativity and I ended up making something brand new instead! It has three of the same ingredients, but otherwise it’s shiny and new!
I love creamy sauces for fish, so combining salsa verde with cream cheese = creamy deliciousness!! Not only did I love the sauce for this fish, but I think it will come in handy for fish and/or shrimp tacos in the future as well!!
Baked Mahi Mahi with Creamy Green Sauce
Ingredients
  • 2 Mahi Mahi fillets
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt & pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup salsa verde (your favorite homemade or store-bought version)
  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small avocado, chopped
 Preparation
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Season fish with salt & pepper and cook 10-12 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork.
  2. Meanwhile, mix salsa, cream cheese and cilantro in a small bowl.
  3. Place fish on plates, cover with sauce, and top with avocado chunks.

    What a great sounding recipe! I think I could make this diet friendly super quickly by swapping out the cream cheese for low fat cream cheese. I'm always looking for recipes for fish. Thanks for sharing!

    This sounds great! I've never cooked mahi mahi so I'm wondering how it might work with another fish. I'm definitely printing it out to make soon.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
