Grilled Mahimahi Wtih Peach And Pink Grapefruit Relish Recipes

MAHI MAHI WITH PEACH-CUCUMBER SALSA

Steps:

• Make the salsa: In a large bowl, combine the peaches, cucumber, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Make the fish: Season the mahi mahi with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat. Sear the fish until opaque in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Transfer the fish to a platter and top with some of the salsa. Serve any extra salsa on the side.

MAHI-MAHI SAUTE WITH GRAPEFRUIT MOJO RECIPE

Steps:

• For the mojo: Combine the citrus zests and juices with the onion, garlic, vinegar and olive oil in a medium nonreactive bowl and stir to mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange the mahi-mahi fillets in a shallow dish and spoon half of the grapefruit mojo over the fish. Reserve the remaining mojo for serving. Marinate the fish in the refrigerator for 2 hours. For the mofongo: Heat the oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick. Fry the plantain slices in batches over medium-high heat until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and set aside. Wipe out the skillet, add the bacon and fry until crisp. Add the shrimp and garlic and continue cooking for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Put the mixture in a food processor, add the plantain slices and pulse just until coarsely chopped. Transfer the mofongo to a bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper, cover to keep warm and set aside. For the black bean purée: Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet, add the garlic, onion and Scotch bonnet and sauté over medium heat until tender and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the black beans and chicken broth and cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 15 minutes. Puree the mixture in blender or food processor until smooth, season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside. Cover to keep warm. Heat the oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick. Take the fish from the mojo marinade and sauté over medium-high heat until just opaque through, about 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. To serve, ladle the warm black bean purée onto individual plates and mound the shrimp mofongo in the center. Lean the fish fillets against the mofongo and drizzle the remaining mojo sauce over the fish. Garnish the plates with grapefruit slices and serve. This recipe yields 4 servings. Along with his wife, Maryann, Chef Blitz recently opened a second, more casual restaurant, called Mojo, refering to the Cuban sauce/marinade of the same name. Mojo is traditionally made with sour oranges, garlic, onions and olive oil, but here the chef interprets the sauce with grapefruit and lime. Mofongo is a Puerto Rican dish based on plantains (starchy cooking bananas), usually with fried pork rinds, here with shrimp and a touch of bacon.
