Time 30m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 8-ounce fillet mahi-mahi, or any other firm white fish
Adobo seasoning, to taste, or garlic, salt and pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces peeled plantains
Vegetable oil, for frying
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3 ounces chicken chicharones
1/2 cup passion fruit juice
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Chardonnay, or dry white wine
1/4 ounce fresh cilantro
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, cubed

Steps:

  • Rub mahi mahi with adobo and 1 tablespoon olive oil and set aside.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet until it reaches 365 degrees F. Cut plantains into small medallions, and then deep-fry until fully cooked, about 3 minutes. Remove from oil and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate. When drained, place plantains in a mortar.
  • Combine garlic and chicken chicharones with the plantains in the mortar and mash them together until mixed. Set mofongo aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove fish and let it rest on a plate. Add passion fruit juice and wine to skillet and let reduce over medium-high heat for a few minutes. Whisk in butter, a few cubes at a time, until the sauce thickens.
  • To serve, place mofongo in the center of the plate with mahi-mahi on top. Cover with the beurre blanc.
