Crunchy, spicy, with a slightly sweet tanginess. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic |
1 tablespoon chopped onion |
1/2 red bell pepper, diced |
1 cup papaya - peeled, seeded and cubed |
1 habanero pepper, seeded and chopped (wear gloves) |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1 tablespoon water |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
1 tablespoon melted butter |
3 (4 ounce) fillets mahi mahi |
3 tablespoons sliced almonds |
1 pinch salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
2. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the red bell pepper, papaya, and habanero pepper. Continue cooking a few more minutes until the bell pepper begins to soften. Stir together the cornstarch, water, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Stir into the papaya sauce until thickened, stirring constantly. Keep the sauce warm over very low heat.
3. Stir 1 tablespoon of lime juice together with the melted butter, and brush on the mahi mahi fillets. Place onto a broiler pan.
4. Cook under the preheated broiler for 4 minutes, then turn the fish over, and continue cooking for 4 minutes more. Sprinkle the almonds over the fish and return to the broiler until the almonds are crisp and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and serve with the papaya sauce.
