Mahi Mahi
Mahi Mahi is From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 35 minutes.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
In a small saucepot, reduce the cream over medium heat until it thickens or coats the back of a spoon.
Add the crab boil seasoning and the Cajun seasoning. When the water boils, add the crab and cook through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Remove the crab and let cool. Pick the crab meat from the shells and add it to the cream. Keep warm.
Fill a medium saute pan with about 1-inch of salted water, or enough to cover the asparagus.
Heat the water over medium heat, add the asparagus, and cook slowly until the asparagus is bendable. Then plunge into a bowl of ice water for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Season fish with salt and pepper.
Place the fish in the hot pan and cook on both sides until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Place in the oven to cook through, about 5 to 6 minutes.
To serve, spoon 1/2 of the cream onto a warm plate.
Place the fish on top, and spoon the remainder of the cream over the fish.
Serve with asparagus and top with the peppers and scallions.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Fish works really well with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Scarpetta Pinot Grigio with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.

Scarpetta Pinot Grigio
Light straw color with just a hint of salmon. Aromas of both stone fruits and melon. Showing Pinot Grigio's ability to be light on its feet but complex. Melon and stone fruits with minerals and medium body. Pinot Grigio has such a great range. Wonderful on its own as an aperitivo, with light grilled fish like sashimi, pesce crudo or ceviche.
