Mahi Mahi With Braised Brussels Sprouts Recipes

MAPLE BACON BRAISED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and reserve on a dry cloth to dry. Once dry, cut each sprout into quarters and place aside.
• Place the bacon strips on a cutting board and cut into 3/4-inch strips. In a medium saute pan, heat the lardons over medium heat until crisp. Strain the lardons out of the pan and place on paper towels. Keep the bacon fat in the pan, add the butter and heat until melted. Once the butter is melted, add the Brussels sprouts and stir frequently. Saute until the sprouts begin to brown. Add the lardons back to the sprouts and add the maple syrup. Heat until the syrup appears to stick to the Brussels sprouts and a deep caramelization is reached. Season with the salt and pepper.

MAHI MAHI WITH BRAISED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F.
• For the brussels sprouts, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat in a large saute pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Continue to cook over high heat until the sprouts begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the water and season generously with salt. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium.
• Gently sear the mahi mahi fillets, skin side down, in a small, dry ovenproof saute pan over medium heat until they just begin to color, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the fish is an even color throughout, about 8 minutes.
• For the flavored butter, mix the feta cheese with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the parsley. Mash with a fork to combine, breaking up the feta as much as possible. Set aside.
• When the mahi mahi is done, uncover the sprouts and turn the heat up to high. When the liquid remaining in the pan has reduced enough to just barely coat the sprouts, remove from the heat and toss with freshly ground black pepper.
• Arrange the fillets and brussels sprouts on a platter and put a dollop of the feta butter on each of the mahi mahi fillets. Serve family style.

• Transfer mixture to a blender, add water and blend until smooth. Return mixture to the pot and bring to a boil. Add honey and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Preheat grill. Brush mahi with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Place a fillet in a shallow bowl and ladle the sauce around. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

ANTON MOSIMANN'S BRAISED BRUSSELS SPROUTS IN CREAM

Steps:

• Put the cream in a heavy pan over medium-low heat. Bring to a boil and cook at a slow but steady boil until the cream is reduced by one-third and is thick and yellow.
• Meanwhile, rinse and trim the brussels sprouts. Cut each in quarters and grate or process in a food processor until the sprouts are the consistency of homemade cole slaw. In the food processor, this is best done in two batches, using the on-off pulse mechanism.
• When the cream is reduced, add the ginger and garlic and mix well. Grate eight or 10 scrapings of nutmeg into the cream, or more if you wish. Add the shredded sprouts and turn in the cream to coat the sprouts well. Return to medium heat and braise, uncovered, stirring and turning frequently, for five to six minutes. The sprouts should be al dente, that is, cooked through but with a crisp bite to them. Check for seasoning, adding salt and freshly ground white pepper if necessary. Serve immediately.
