Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 cups, halved Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the fillets in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down slightly and release their juices.

Step 5

Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, honey, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.

Step 6

Return the Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet and spoon the tomato-lime sauce over the top. Let the fish simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to warm through.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately. Pair with rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
