Thank you, Curious! We used your FC "Cod with Mushroom" for mahi last night. Delicious!

Larry picked up a large piece of fresh mahi mahi and I've never prepared that type before. Since last week's "beer batter cod" was a fiasco, I wanted something a little less...persnickety. I searched for "mahi" and this seemed the least likely for me to screw up.

The only changes I made were to add 1/2 C Rheisling wine since it seem a bit dry (I may have been simmering too fast) and sauteed a leek along with the mushrooms. Oh, and I used a white Sicilian lemon balsamic vinegar.

We enjoyed it so much we're having the other piece tonight made the same way.

Served with baked butternut squash and red (I was going to write "ripe" but that might imply "tasty" and these weren't) tomatoes.

So glad you enjoyed it. We did the first time I made it, the second time I wasn't as enthusiastic.

I need to try it again. The second time I also found it dry. And that might be because I halved the recipe.

 
I made it with 8 oz of baby portabellas--good taste, but not very attractive. I probably

wouldn't use those for dinner guests as it made the fish look dirty. Tasty, but dirty looking.

Even though we only cooked two 6-oz pieces of fish, we finished off the entire mushroom/broth/onion base. So, definitely DON'T halve that. And try adding the wine. I used a Rheisling to counterbalance the balsalmic--yes, course--exactly for that culinary reason (...and because it was the only bottle of white wine open.)

 
no...I was searching for MAHI since I'd never made it. And it wasn't until I was going

to bed that I realized I used AN ENTIRE STICK of butter for the two of us. I started out with 2 TBL to saute the leek first. Then I portioned out the 4 TBL for the recipe. Then I threw a bit more in when it was simmering.

And when the fish was ready to serve, I saw that single dab of butter left on the paper and tossed that in.

So...low-calorie fish with low-calorie veggies wrapped in 800 FRIGGING CALORIES OF BUTTER--for the two of us.

And all I would remember when my pants don't fit would be: "...but I had fish for dinner!"
