Mahi Mahi, Fajita Style image

I used mahi mahi for this, but you could just as easily substitute any mild white fish, or chicken. A very interesting combination of colors, textures and flavors with a smoky, Mexican undertone.

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 mild fish fillets (mahi mahi, cod, pollock)
1/2 tsp taco seasoning
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 small green pepper, sliced
1 small red bell pepper, sliced
1 small onion, sliced vertically into strips
1/2 c brown rice, cooked
1/2 c black beans, cooked
1/2 c pineapple salsa (see my recipes)
2 Tbsp fat free sour cream or plain yogurt
1/2 small avocado, diced
hot sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350. Place fish on a lightly greased pan. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and bake 10-20 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork.
  • 2. While fish cooks, heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium high. When it's hot and begins to shimmer add onions and bell pepper. Cook, stirring frequently but allowing scotched patches to form, until crisp-tender. You're aiming for something like fajitas.
  • 3. Combine heated rice and black beans. Divide the mixture between two serving plates, spreading it into a circle.
  • 4. Top rice and beans with bell pepper mixture.
  • 5. When fish is done, place it on top of the bell peppers.
  • 6. Top the fish with a line of pineapple salsa, a scoop of yogurt or sour cream, avocado and a drizzle of hot sauce.
