Instructions

1
Microwave limes in a small bowl to release essential oils. Since these will be hot coming from the microwave, set them aside until just cool enough to handle. Season fish with salt and pepper and place in a non-reactive container for marinating. Squeeze lime juice over fish and add rinds to the bowl.

Heat oil over medium heat in a large saute pan and add butter. Sear marinated fillets flesh side first, leaving undisturbed for at least 2 to 3 minutes to allow the surface to begin to caramelize and prevent tearing of the fish. Flip over to sear the skin side. Allow to cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until flesh springs back when gently prodded.

Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner

Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and Gruener Veltliner are my top picks for Mahi Mahi. 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 Stoltz Organic Pinot Noir with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.

This Pinot shows well with its deep rich color and floral aroma for an organic Columbia Gorge Pinot noir. Everything is in order for this wine to either welcome years of aging or be drunk on the spot.
